That's just retarded.

German law states any child has to go to school for at LEAST 9 years. Its law, they HAVE to go. You do not have to pay for it either. If the parents deny them that they have to pay a fine. If you do not go to school too often as a kid, your parents also have to pay a fine.
These plays might be school trips, but the reason the US has "permission slips" is liability. no?. The teachers are liable in germany anyway though. But the school trips are PART of education, you can not deny them to go. You do not pay for it either.
The world works different in different places ;)
