Comment on Generational differences
ReiRose@lemmy.world 11 hours agoI mean our school had trips to Israel, Greece and Colorado (from UK). I know my parents payed money, but idk how much or if it was subsidized/fundraiser for.
Local trips should be free. Tbh as an adult I don’t like that the less fortunate kids were most likely excluded from the International trips.
Also: we got stupid drunk in Greece age 15, I nearly got a tattoo. And free Palestine 🇵🇸

I can see an international trip costing money, either funded by participants or fundraiser.
Sounds like you had a cool time traveling, in the states your lucky if they have the funds to bus some kids to the public library
There were a lot of after school stuff that had travel, mainly sports and music. The foreign language dept sometimes was able to an abroad trip with like 7 students.
But the history class that wants to go to a museum can pound sand.
