The teacher is responsible for setting up meetings with students and parents throughout the year which was about a cumulative 40 hours for me. The teacher is working...working....working while on this trip. Yes to those outside of the education field, it looks free. But for the teacher it's reimbursement for the marketing, recruitment, organization, and chaperoning of the students. I definitely did more than $4700 worth of work for the trip I went on to the Galapagos but would do it again
