Trips are a ton of work and exhauting by the end of the day but when you go with a team of teachers and one teacher plans a movie trip and the others encourage an educationally unfulfilling trip, I am sorry but those teachers wanted a day off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12216066.post-75942703580384595682011-03-11T23:38:46.666-05:002011-03-11T23:38:46.666-05:00We recently held a teacher's appreciation day,...We recently held a teacher's appreciation day, and always seem to have a intimate low-key kind of setting.

I absolutely hate field trips, but I know if I don't take my students most of them will never set foot in museums, the zoo, botanical garden, etc. <br />They are exhausting to plan, get ready for, and then to make sure you keep 20-something kids safe. And don't even get me started on the parents that chaperone for the trips, sometimes they are worse than the children, but then again it helps explain why their kids are the way they are.<br />Then to top it off! I lose my lunch and prep for the day!!!<br />Yeah, that's why I take field trips, because its such a breeze. <br />Clearly you are clueless!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12216066.post-81866377540786400072010-03-23T19:18:36.373-04:002010-03-23T19:18:36.373-04:00Anonymous--That is great!

But you do have to be careful and do a lot of research before you go to the fairs - there are a lot of very shady (or at least highly unprofessional) for-profit schools out there. I would recommend leaving yourself open to any region, and going to the fairs open to any location. Both of my job have been in completely unexpected places, and I've been very happy.<br /><br />Do you know the International School Review website? Take everything you read there with a huge barrel of salt - it's always easier to write negative things, and many of the commenting teachers have an obvious agenda - but it can give you an idea of which schools are most reputable.<br /><br />Good luck! I think you will love it.allirab@earthlink.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303320416629916864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12216066.post-12202171816800109622009-12-21T06:10:20.117-05:002009-12-21T06:10:20.117-05:00Take a look at the Bluewater School on Koh Samui, ...Take a look at the Bluewater School on Koh Samui, Thailand.Margaret Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910776236752629334noreply@blogger.com
