All SciTeach Forum users are urged to review this area each time you use the forum. The student must hand in ALL homework. In my opinion, this policy has more disadvantages than it does advantages. I am just about the only one against this policy. 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.
