Road Trip
Any teacher who has ever worked in a classroom or a lab or a gym full of unseasoned learners and not-yet-fully-developed human beings for 32 years is bound to have a few stories. These stories may come from the classroom itself and involve one or two students in particular, or they may come from the “out of school” experience involved when whole classes of students venture head-long, into the big wide world. I certainly have had both types of experiences (and everything in between), thus I also have the stories that go with those sorts of adventures. In the account that follows, I would like to relate some muses of my ten favorite entries in the School Field Trip ledger. Of course, I was involved with dozens, if not hundreds, more than what I have mentioned here, but many of them were matter-of-fact, and simply followed the book – going much as planned, innocuous in their process and procedure and predictable in their outcome. A few, on the other hand, stick out vividly in my mind because of one or more incidents involving one or more students, or because of the destination, or because of the mode of travel to and from the destination, or because of the complexity, magnitude and scope of organizing and proceeding with the trip itself. During my teaching tenure, I was primarily a teacher of physical education for much of the time, and thus, was involved with coaching a variety of sports for a variety of male and female age-groups. I estimate that I likely took more than 250 sports-related road trips during that time. While teaching in Canada (Saskatchewan and British Columbia), I was involved with a minimum of one class-related trip (Museum visits, drama performances, etc.) per semester and at least one whole-school-related outing (Skiing trips, camping, hiking, etc.) per school year. The inclusion of these activities increases my field-trip tally by another 100. Add to that, the 30 plus shopping trips I took with my Foods & Nutrition students while teaching in China, and my career total stands at nearly 400 field trips taken during my teaching career. That’s an average of over 10 times per year that I was given the opportunity to be involved with the fabrication of some very interesting tales of student adventure (or possibly misadventure). Anyway, you get my point. In over 350 outings, it is very likely that a few of them could rightfully be categorized as at least slightly interesting. So, without further ado, here is my list of favorite field trips taken as a teacher of extraordinary students, and a facilitator of discovery.

Therefore, the global warming crisis could be devastating for the islanders. At the current rate, the rise of the sea level would mean more than 80% of the Maldives will become uninhabitable by 2050, according to reports from NASA and the US Geological Survey.
