I mean our school had trips to Israel, Greece and Colorado (from UK). I know my parents payed money, but idk how much or if it was subsidized/fundraiser for.
Local trips should be free. Tbh as an adult I don’t like that the less fortunate kids were most likely excluded from the International trips.
Also: we got stupid drunk in Greece age 15, I nearly got a tattoo. And free Palestine 🇵🇸
Edit: we also went to France multiple times, but if money was paid there was no big fuss or special meeting. From the uk France trips should be free for sure
I can see an international trip costing money, either funded by participants or fundraiser.
Sounds like you had a cool time traveling, in the states your lucky if they have the funds to bus some kids to the public library
There were a lot of after school stuff that had travel, mainly sports and music. The foreign language dept sometimes was able to an abroad trip with like 7 students.
But the history class that wants to go to a museum can pound sand.
I’d count a field trip under the “crazy they have to fundraising”
I could see it if the fundraising is for an after school club trying to go on a trip?
But if the class were going to the museum or something, there should be a budget for that.
