Shrewsbury mum in social media storm after criticising £800 cost of three-day school trip
Emma Mellor's Facebook post has attracted huge attention after she criticised the cost of the school trip.
Writing on Facebook, the 40-year-old, who runs her own mindfulness and wellbeing business, explained that she had written back to the school outlining her feelings over the offer. Emma said that she had not been seeking to start an argument but had just been left astounded at the request – and took to social media to vent.
She said she had been 'flabbergasted' at the letter, adding:"I thought it was a lot of money for three days and the fact they wanted £300 in 11 days' time is fairly unrealistic for a good many people." She said:"There is no doubt they are incredible opportunities, and there is no doubt the children who do go will learn a lot and have a wonderful time, there is no escaping that, but it is still okay to comment that the price of one child going away for three days being £800 is utterly ludicrous."
