[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I'm so glad so many of your schools are doing field trips. I am aware that this is happening-that is why I asked the question. My question was for those of you whose schools are not having field trips, have they mentioned they would start them again next year? [/quote]

Principal and teachers.  They are a nightmare to organize so many don't want to do them.[/quote]

It should not be up to each principal or teacher. That’s not fair. This is why there’s a difference between school clusters even though we are all supposed to be under one district (mcps). [/quote]

Life is not fair. Feel free to coordinate, organize, plan and execute field trips for the entire class if they are that important to you.[/quote]

I don’t have to, my child’s school has field trips. But still I think it’s unfair for other kids in MCPS. It’s not just about my kids but it’s about all of the kids and all of the schools having the same/similar experiences. If my school didn’t have field trips, yes I could coordinate and help plan, volunteer and so would many parents at my specific school and I’m sure my PTA would rally and coordinate field trips. But it’s not just about what my school and what I can do. There are kids in schools, and parents at their schools who don’t have the same time, availability or resources. They might not even feel empowered to do so.

And yet, as evidenced by this thread, many schools have not been having field trips (or very limited ones or virtual) AND parents nor PTA’s have rallied to ensure that they happen and are paid for out of MCPS budget.  That alone should tell you not just about parental apathy towards these and all other school things.  So why do you feel teachers and principal’s  who are already nearing burnout are going to invest any more time and energy?[/quote]

I'm positive based on the same evidence in this thread those are just a few people who are all at the same school. Oh wait, neither of us could know these things![/quote]
