[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS students should be going to Smithsonian museums. Teachers and parents should be chaperoning them. They should travel by metro or private charter buses. I have priced out charter busses from DC to Philadelphia for 40 people and it is quite affordable. There should be a curriculum that the students cover through the field trip. Students should watch a documentary at school about the exibit and the history or significance of what they will see...before they are taken to the museum. [/quote] Charter buses aren't that affordable in lower income schools. Metro is also pricy and how do the kids get to the metro if the school is not near them. But, yes, its a good field trip. The problem is once they get on the busses its 9-10, it takes 45 minutes to drive there so they have 2-3 hours including lunch before heading back.[/quote]
