[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Field trips are not common for high school. Maybe one a year. A lot of student complain about missing classes and getting behind in APs. Charter Buses are also crazy expensive. Like $2k per day per bus. School buses can only be used for short, local trips that don’t get in the way of bus schedules.[/quote] HS isn't playtime: a lot of things that would make fun field trips in the earlier grades would be a huge waste of resources and instructional time in HS. Even getting from point A to point B is 90+ minutes in our area by the time you load buses. If it's not something special enough that you yourself would take time off work for it, off-campus enrichment in HS needs to happen outside of school hours.[/quote]
