Sorry, BR, to elaborate the incident I refer to was not in the press. It was from a personal experience yesterday when a teacher from a well-known public school (which I respect and admire) delivered a couple of Spanish boys to the airport. I won't mention the school by name as I have no desire for them to receive undeserved bad publicity!
Now, I quite agree that the teacher shouldn't have to fork out, but there are such facilities as "Incidental Expenses" which can be added to the parents' bill at school-fees invoicing time!!! (I know 'cos "Incidental Expenses" were the cause of much frustration in the Bealine Senior household when I were a lad!!!)
Had I been in the teacher's shoes, I think I would have used my "plastic" and reclaimed the fee from the Bursar on my return, secure in the knowledge that the boys would arrive in Spain without incident!
