Loved a school trip me, both as a teacher and pupil.

Shame then that kids are going to miss out on them.

Also affects the places they visit, less income generated may mean places closing down and costing jobs.

Some school trips are very worthwhile experiences for kids whereas some other trips are a bit pointless.

I'd like to think that this might encourage some lazy or indifferent parents to take their kids to places of interest which don't have to cost a fortune. Obviously, some parents can't afford more expensive ones and that is unfortunate. We all wish we had more money to spend on something. That's life.

When are schools ever happy with their funding? If they say the are happy with it, they know it will get cut.

Have you seen what schools chuck out and piss money away on.
It's a disgrace they can't find dough to change what can be a drab dreary week on week on week.
Mrs works in one as cleaner so first hand.
I know it can be down to budgets and what you can and can't buy but FFS the pen is mightier than the sword so to speak surely.

My mate in a Harris Academy says he has to buy his own paper for the kids. I went to the first one and there was one computer per student in each yeargroup.
