Are field trips really needed?

There are many haters out there who think that it really is better for standard education to dominate over field trips. Some people think that these visits to the museums don't teach anything to those who come, as us students wouldn't bother to carefully read information or remember it for a test, and probably just goof off with our friends. Besides, field trips often aren't cheap. Likely, you would have to take from your own family's earnings to pay for lunch and museum access, which can be surprisingly overpriced. With all of this said, is it really necessary to have field trips if it's going to be wasted?
So interactive ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
YES! Field Trips are not wasted! Sure, we probably goof off with our friends, but its not like we don't pay attention to anything there. I think we're safely past the mindless 3-year-old boredom of "adult stuff". Besides, what's more important is that museums offer a more interactive experience than that of standard education. It's not like we can bring all of those artifacts, photos, structures, and large-scale dioramas to a classroom to study. If one does pay enough attention at a museum, it can really open your eyes. For example, we could see the true pains of the Holocaust much more with respect when interacting with examples and recreations rather than reading about it in a book. Even if we choose to have a bit of fun among classmates, there's still so much history surrounding you in a museum that it couldn't possibly not affect you in any way. We need field trips to be able to bring an education experience that can surround us, no matter the setbacks.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND short blog ending.

  1. I think I'm the only one dumb enough to tap on your "so interactive" phrase to see it will take me somewhere. Wait, I did interact. :/ Mind Blown
