There is a lot of preparation, costs and liability that can go a long with a school field trip, but there is a lot of evidence that proves that educational field trips can be very useful. Field trips are definitely a decline in colleges across the country. This is especially surprising because the hands on experience in the real world are definitely what college students need to be a part of. They are going to be on their own in various industries, and there are certain things you cannot learn in a classroom. This is especially true in business and more specifically operations management. Going out and seeing what you talk about in class is much more effective than just reading it in a textbook. College students interested in operations management and other types of businesses should be provided with opportunities to go on field trips and learn from active professionals, visit current facilities and witness learned concepts, live in action. In the first article, “Field Trips: Are They Really That Valuable” they provide great evidence to support the idea that field trips are very imperative for education.

...contributed to the incident, it can be classified as contributory negligence in which the teacher can no longer be held liable. Often the factors of development and age appropriate ability are evaluated closely in attempt to establish contributory negligence. In addition, various other components are addressed when a claim of negligence is investigated. These other contributing factors can be the certification and professional training of the supervising instructor, the surroundings in which the incident took place, and the nature of the activity and preservation of any equipment that may have been involved. As a budding professional enters the field of education, such laws and mandatory “duty of care†can often be nerve-racking.
