In the same manner as a student has to make up work if he or she were sick, they should be made to make up the work they miss during the fieldtrip. By making the student do the work before the trip, you have insured that the student will not fall behind in the class because of the trip. That is why I feel that this is a great idea. The only reason I would disagree with this policy would be if the student had a teacher that did not provide the stdent the help that the student needed to complete the assignmet and understand the material. All students should be able to become involved in field trips.
Field trips are fun and get children involved.
This is a good learning experience for students. If a studet misses a homework assignment and is not allowed to go on a field trip, what kind of exampe is the school being for the students. A school should not keep a student from learing. A student will feel indifferent towards school. Other students will know why they were not able to go on a field trip.
