People who had an opportunity to take a school trip how much did it cost and where would you have gone? my school offered a trip to Japan and trip to France both about 5,000(usd). ngl just kinda curious about other people

I accompanied a group of 7 & 8 year olds to a local common the other day which has massive bunkers a runways for military aircraft—it used to house nuclear weapons but they are long gone and now there are wild birds, and cattle grazing

It is stunningly beautiful and kinda weird up there

There is a LOT of sky

To add to the uncanniness we had to make sure the children didn’t wander off and get hurt or lost so there were constant cries of “keep to the path”

Since this was a school trip, not a fairy tale, we were all made it back fine…no one was abducted by the fair folk or anything like that

An employee at the natural history museum gave me a paper star and said they liked my pride pins :)

(I put it in a little bag to keep it safe)

I feel like this is probably a common experience, but as a kid we took a field trip to a dairy farm and were told that the cows walk in and get milked whenever they want and then they can walk out whenever they want too, which is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever been told. I forgot about it until just now, but now it's driving me nuts because I think the teachers who told us that actually believed it

Well, there are farms like that, they’re not all factory farmed even if most are. Because their calves who would be drinking their milk are taken away from them and they’re bred to overproduce milk, they can become very uncomfortable if they aren’t being milked, so it’s perfectly reasonable that they’d sometimes seek out milking for relief. That doesn’t make farming them any more ethical, since if they hadn’t been forcibly inseminated in the first place and had their children taken from them/killed, then they wouldn’t need humans to do it for them. That’s the part of the story people usually conveniently leave out on these sorts of “educational” tours.

I'm starting this go fund me for my little cousins 8th grade school trip to Disney World. This would be their only chance to go to Disney World like... Ever. The school asks for about $1,000 for each kid to just be able to go, and then the children have to pay for their own meals and drinks, etc....

Not to mention, one of my little cousins just had surgery on her jaw (they had to break it and put in metal so she can eat and speak right), and hasn’t really been able to enjoy her summer at all. This would be really good for her.
