[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the feedback.  We've been to many museums in DC and, no, these are not big like Museum of Natural History big. However, there is a lot of information to absorb at each stop.

[b]My "beef" is the long day and seemingly diluted educational component of the trip. As long as they're going I'd like there to be a real educational benefit and it doesn't seem that there can be much if there are simply zooming through each one. [/b]

This is the only field trip of the year. Why can't it be split into two trips? Are the teachers saving time on planning by jamming it all into one day? And traffic will be a huge factor. They will likely spend 1.5 hrs each way in traffic with 24 miles each way.

Your mistake is thinking that field trips are fact-filled educational outtings.  I live in Richmond, Va and we have dozens of museums/historical venues and I am suprised how many families I know have never visited them or plan to.  Field trips are more for exposure than facts.[/quote]
