Well, being on the adult side of things these days, I view it as a disregard for "gracious professionalism" when everyone complains about the location of nationals. I know the students put in an enormous amount of work to this project, but the adults do even more - many of us put in 40+ hours a week in addition to working 40+ hours at our jobs. It makes me feel like all the effort we're putting in isn't worth it, because people are more interested in the field trip aspect than in learning from us.
Many people here feel very strongly about this particular issue and unfortunately that has the tendency to cause a heated discussion which usually results in one or both sides being offended.
Anyway my point is that while you feel that you were not treated with gracious professionalism, some of us on the other side of the debate are feeling the same thing.
Being on the other side, I'm probably part of the reason you feel you were not treated nicely and for that I apologize.
