The same reason we have the two-page permission slip. It’s always fun when lawyers get involved.

DP, but Wakefield goes to Signature Theatre twice in 9th grade. And some history classes visited a tall ship in Alexandria in 9th as well.

Not that it’s educational, but there’s also the 8th grade amusement park field trip (& other trips specific to band/chorus/orchestra).

Yes, I think it is teacher specific at W-L.

Yes, to tell them it's not okay to rip pages out of books, fold them up, and put them in your sock before you leave.

They should also go to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to see all the stacks of paper money for better understanding that you can just print more to pay off the debt since you can just lower the FFR 2 months before an election to pretend you're not trending toward recession.

If there's still time the Dept of Labor is there to explain how hard arithmetic is when reporting job reports.

I guess it wasn't enough that the kids' cell phones could deflect bullets and be used as a tele-AED device for overly anxious APS parents. /s

Outdoor lab in 7th grade. Tour the career center in 8th. That’s what I remember my kid doing.
