[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my 6th grader is going in a couple of week. They leave school from Vienna at 10am to DC.  And they leave the museum by 12pm.  Do the math.  What’s even the point? [/quote]

Well complain to the school board. This is a county field trip. They plan it in accordance with the museums. The docent tours are about 1 hour and 15 mins and buses need to leave no later than 1:00PM to do the middle school runs. [/quote]

When my kid went, left at 10, the bus got lost, then we had to wait for the museum guide. They saw exact three pieces of art, then it was time to go. We were told the bus had to be back at school by 1:00 and we are way out in the boonies. Less than 45 minutes physically in the museum, maybe 30 minutes looking at art. First field trip in five years. The kids were craning their necks trying to see things as they were bum-rushed out the door. I never paid the $5 out of principle TBH. That was their only field trip all year![/quote]
