We were talking about field trip transportation at leadership team today. Forgive me if I'm repeating my dismay, but it really is appalling that there are no more buses available unless we charge the students for the ride. "We should call Uber," the person next to me whispered when administration encouraged us to consider the subway.
"Or maybe Schoober," I answered her. We laughed quietly as the conversation turned to cost analysis. Three hours for a rented school bus would be cheaper than taking 50 kids on the metro, and more convenient, too.
"That's only if you have a full bus," someone pointed out.
Riding with a full bus? Looking around, that seemed unlikely, if you know what I mean.
Hey, all the kids have those pricey government funded iPads though, don't they? Take em on virtual tours. Next thing you know those schools will be needing gas masks to drop from the ceilings, not for fear of spreading disease, but for getting these kids some fresh air.
