  Case: Field Trips
My school only allows us to go on one to two trips a year. I feel as though real-world experiences are essential to make connections while learning. My principal says because we are Title I we can not ask for much money from the parents. Are there any other solutions other than fundraising?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe a great way to solve this issue is by bringing the field trip to your classroom. Obviously this does not work for every situation, like a farm. Often companies or people are more than willing to make a visit to your classroom/ school. It does not hurt to ask, and this will still give your students the experience, without the extra costs that come with a field trip.

Comments: I think this is very true, businesses and such are usually more than happy to offer assistance to schools! I also think it is a great idea to bring the field trip to the classroom.

Comments: I think your solution is PERFECT!! If it was my classroom and i wanted to take my students on a field trip but didn't have enough money for the aquarium, then I would bring it to them. I would go to the beach and bring stuff into the classroom, I would also find a biology teacher to help give me animals.

Comments: I agree. Every year some counties in the state may have a Great American Teach-In (GATI) where different people come into different schools and discuss about their jobs. The students are able to ask questions and learn about what it's like to do their jobs.
