[quote=Anonymous]Too many with respect to what? To what else you think they should be doing? The children's ability to handle and process them? The parents' ability to keep track and accompany? I think there is no absolute number. Why not go on a field trip every day if that's how the curriculum at your school conveys knowledge. The more important ingredient is how these filed trips are structured and connected to the content being conveyed. And also how well they're staffed to actually yaccomplish that. Also important is whether learning like that at Kindergarten level is a good fit for one's child. For some children, field trips are stressful and not conducive to actually thinking things through. For others, probably those with high attention spans and ability to block out noise, they're a great way to learn in an exploratory or expeditionary manner. [/quote]
