Poster: A snowHead
|
I know we had a thread on this ages ago....but I can't find it
Have any snowHeads been on school trips as an adult? If so, is there any advice that you can give as to what to look out for.....cunning schemes to get the little blighters to behave etc etc.
I have the joy of accompanying a school trip at half-term, and would appreciate some helpful pointers from those experienced in such matters.

Kids generally do stupid things when they're bored. Distraction can be a more positive force than discipline. Kids are open to doing deals, and if there's a reasonable open trade, they will be great company.
Up in Scotland, where I was involved in teaching kids to ski, we basically did exciting things with them until they crashed out. Essentially they know that vandalism, drunkenness and general deliquency come from empty lives.
Take them on a long quest to investigate the glacier flea

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Congratulated for the sense to lock it up should there be a search or was he under the illusion you would never try to buy booze being underage and on holiday?

'er indoors, a teacher, went with her school last year - 25 8/9/10 year olds. She said that they were all very well behaved, mostly knackered in the evenings, and occupied in ski school during the day. The biggest problems lay with the parents that came. As only some of the children had their parents with them, the parents were told that they were not to take it for granted that they (the parents) had responsibility for them, and they weren't to take the children off on special trips (day time or evening) without agreeing with the school first. There was also some issue about how pocket money would be issued; I think it was that parents were asked not to keep topping up the pocket money of the kids to see that all the kids were treated fairly.
The head asked me if I'd go, but I declined when I found out that we had to bring 25 kids back. Come to think of it, we had to bring the same lot back, too.
