Today we took a picnic to a nearby park with some friends. We let the kiddos play for a bit, then we sat down to eat lunch. Not long afterwards, 2 school buses pull up and students (1st or 2nd grade) start pouring out. The teachers and parent volunteers lug big coolers full of sack lunches, the students eat their lunches (because the teachers say they have to before they can play) and then the students go at the playground with excitement. Now, I have no problem with any of this, except:
WHY WOULD THE TEACHERS PLAN A FIELD TRIP TO A LOCAL PARK WHEN THERE ARE WAY BETTER THINGS TO DO ON A FIELD TRIP? DON'T THEY HAVE A PLAYGROUND AT THEIR SCHOOL? REALLY? A FIELD TRIP TO A PARK? REALLY?
I know this picture has NOTHING to do with the rant topic above. But we are all of us enjoying strawberry season. YUM! A box of strawberries is only good for one meal around here. And nobody gets as many as they want.

How much money did they spend so the kids could go to the park? Did they do anything else? WE went with the kindergartners to the Discovery center at the Gateway, but then hit the park on the way home so they could eat. But, that was just a place to eat.. not the whole field trip. Weird.
