Did you go on any weird field trips in school?
We were taken to a taxidermist in 1st grade. Who approved that?

That sounds awesome! When I was homeschooled for college as I didn’t get in at 16 my teacher taken me to IKEA to look at furniture 😆 it wasn’t too bad as I didn’t have to do any work. I got a free coffee too. With school the weirdest place we got taken to was a supermarket 😆 I hated it but we went to Mac Donald’s afterwards we was only allowed to spend £5 which was stupid as it was our own money. The reason why was because our behaviour was terrible and some kids had disabilities meaning we had to be put away from the rest of the school I hated it so much luckily it was only 3 times a week in year 9 and they taken is there so we could learn how to behave properly in public and on buses 😆 And once to a garden centre we didn’t have time to look around so we just had coffee. I got taken to subway once too and I got free coffee and a Cookie. I hated it at the time but looking back on it I now really appreciate it as I got taken more places than my parents taken me, if it wasn’t for that one teacher I wouldn’t have ever gotten out of the house. We went to a water fall too that was amazing.

@SW-User Can't help thinking the teachers took pupils to view supermarkets and fast-food outlets because they thought that the only career options - or lacked the imagination and initiative to visit anything interesting.
My school visited quite a variety of places, from factories to cathedrals; but my most memorable was the Roman Baths Museum, in the city of Bath - memorable because we had to be evacuated from rising floods!
For those who know the city, Pulteney Weir was completely submerged, ,and we saw someone's garden shed floating away on the torrent. That was in June or July 1968, and the storms caused considerable damage over quite a wide area. I think I still have the copy of the local newspaper I thought to buy while there, showing the aftermath of the floods that had already passed other areas of North Somerset.
