[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a note.  In my experience - teachers never assigned kids who needed more care (shy kid, SN kid, overactive kid, fretful kid) to parents. Usually, they welcomed the parents of these children to chaperone their child or they had extra aides for these children. You will have a better appreciation of the teachers and how they manage their classroom after going to these trips.

Do teachers typically assigned the volunteer’s own kid to her group?[/quote]

Yes. Your own kid is with you.

Do the buddy system. Every kid holds hands with another kid.  Make sure that you are taking pictures of the kids because that makes them want to stay together.  For a farm or orchard trip, take some quarters so that you can buy each kid some "feed" to feed the animals in the petting zoo.  You are basically enticing them to remain together and be in the larger group.

Be very clear with the teachers that you want more placid kids and not ones that need a lot of supervision. [/quote]
