[quote=Anonymous]There is a pretty strong assumption at the privates that children have lots of exposure to the various Smithsonian museums and the institutions of government. At DC's school, there's more of an emphasis on bringing people to the school so its less disruptive of the class schedule. I'm sure my DC would complain that the trips were pointless unless they had special behind the scenes tours or access to big wigs. The teachers all seem to have plenty of budget for field trips but they try to use them in a way that's tightly integrated with the school work. For example, seeing a Shakespeare play at the Folger when they read it, but the coincidence is a matter a chance.[/quote]
