I want to Escape! lt's about time to beam me up, Scottie! K F ll Staff Where's the bus? It should be here any min- ute, it just has to be. No show. lt's still first period but the bus is 45 minutes late. What to do, what to do? Okay, it's second peri- od, l'll give it 5 more min- utes then I'll prepare for the panic stages. lt's third period, now l'm panicked just as my teacher is han- ding out his test ... Excuse me teachers. Please dismiss all students going on the field trip to the bus loading area now. Thank you. Seeing a student who is excited about going to school is seeing someone who is probably going on an all-day field trip. There, are many places to go on a field trip -the arts cen- ter, a play, a bank or spending the day shad- owing a professional. Field trips should be fun but with a school field trip there should be some- thing to be learned. Fieldtrips are really en- joyable for people who want to see what really goes on at a job or a place of business, james jeffer- son said. For teachers there were many things involved in the planning of field trips. Finding the perfect place to go, filling out endless amounts of paper work and finding capable cha- perons were just a few of the experiences these teachers faced. Gaining information outside of the classroom can be beneficial and it shows a student learning doesn't have to be con- fined to the classroom, Mrs. Suedmeyer said. Field trips offered stu- dents a chance to put away the books and get some first-hand experience at what is really going on or just learn something new. l like field trips because you get a chance to get away from school and have fun in the process of learning, Monica john- son said. Field trips broaden the minds of students with background information about things that are im- portant to them but they also are an excellent way of escape.
