What are some cheap but good field trips to go to?

Are parents supposed to go on field trips with their kids?

  • I don't remember parents going when I was in school. That was the fun of a field trip - to go somewhere out in the big world without your parents tagging along.

  • Answer:

    Schools usually require a minimum number of adults to supervise a field trip. No all parents have the time to do this, so a few parents volunteer so there can be a trip. As a parent who was able to supervise when needed, I can tell you that on some trips I wish I didn't volunteer.

Wondering if this in response to my response to your previous question. No parents aren't expected to go on field trips, but many trips require a certain number of chaperons per child. At that point, a few volunteer parents become necessary. I have supervised field trips to museums, aquariums, zoos, and theatrical productions. I've been on a riverboat cruise where it was required to have a minimum of one chaperon for every three children and it was preferred that there be a 1/2 ratio. As a stay at home mom, I have had the joy of being able to do this. My kids loved it. I got to know their friends and their teachers. As far as I'm concerned, it's a win, win situation.

the first couple years mine was in elementary I was required, but that was due to her specific situation and I felt more comfortable about it anyway. now, I dont make all of them, but I do when I can or if she really wants me too.

There are usually a few parents that go along to help look after kids and chaperone, but not everyone's parents have to go.

Yes they need helpers to help them manage the kids. I used to go with mine when they were younger. It was a blast and they loved it.
