    I mean, in the US we have permission slips from parents to go on field trips. Not sure why people would find it unrealistic.

    Also…of all the things from a book about witches and wizards and magic. They’re complaining about permission slips? lolwut

      Yeah, kind of my point was that y’all are viewing it as a “field trip”, which is typically a specific event that’s infrequent, carefully organized and supervised, which is a whole different beast to the generic standing instructions of “we’re not going to supervise your kids if they wander off school grounds” slip.

      For the former case it’s pretty much understood that everyone in class should be able to join a field trip, but for the latter it’s not such a foregone conclusion.
