I must say my favorite part of school is going on field trips. It’s usually the same case with other kids. It serves as a reward for working hard in class, encourages them that learning can be fun, and lastly for some it may be the only time they get to go on trips due to financial or parental problems.
When you spend almost half your day sitting in a chair listening to someone talk and give you work, you might wonder what the point is. Field trips serve as a reward for all the boredom they and work they have done. It also encourages them to keep working hard and to stay out of trouble (some schools might have a no referral policy, etc.).
A majority of field trips are related to something they are learning in school. Instead of having to learn entirely in the class, it allows kids to get a real world experience on what they are learning about. It would even encourage them to want to learn more about certain subjects.
Field trips not only serve as educational outlets, motivation to keep working hard in school, but also as retreats for the unfortunate kids who do not get to go on trips at home. It would be travesty not to keep field trips.
