This episode explores the evolution of school field trips, including their origins, funding, and the rise of virtual experiences.

Remember the excitement of field trip day? The permission slip. The yellow bus. The snacks packed in your backpack. But field trips today look a lot different than they did when most of us were in school. In the newest episode of Interventions and Detentions with Brad, we take a deep dive into the evolution of the school field trip. We talk about: • Where field trips originally came from • Why schools started tying them to academic standards • How schools actually pay for them • The rise of virtual field trips • And what the future of experiential learning might look like If you work in education, you’ll definitely relate to this one.
