I got pulled out of school for a week to go to Disney World when I was, erm, 9. Things were different in those days, and my dad had a rare opportunity to be paid[1] to go to a conference in Miami (where he discovered laboratory robots and gunshot wounds and that USAnian health care worked like a third-world country). Anyway, once we'd done the token being-groped-by-Mickey-Mouse stuff, EPCOT was awesome, and then there was the real reason I came: the Kennedy Space Center (they vetoed my suggestion of skipping another week of school in order to see a shuttle launch, bastards). All in, about three orders of magnitude more educational than school, which is why this sort of thing should be banned with no exceptions[2].
But whining about it on the radio is like complaining that your luxury apartment is in the wrong area code. There's no way to not come across as an entitled cockwomble.
[1] Would anyone go to Miami without being paid?
[2] Personally, I think some sort of quota would be more reasonable. So you can take advantage of those rare opportunities, but stop people from repeatedly taking the piss.
