Strange Things About American Schools That Non-Americans Find Confusing

Somewhat Boring Field Trips

American schools typically host multiple field trips for their students to enjoy every year. However, most of the outings are for educational purposes and consist of places like museums or historical sites. This is very different from other countries, where they tend to let the kids enjoy other fun activities.

Some field trips seem to be very boring and it is not uncommon for teachers to require you to write a report or essay on the field trip. Even though it doesn’t sound like a fun time for a typical kid, some field trips are really fun, especially if you get to travel somewhere new or a bit farther from the school.
