Reminds me of the sixties, when “audiovisual aids” (ie filmstrips, documentaries and recorded TV shows) arrived in the classroom. We saw a lot of films in those days. Now I realise the teachers knew we would sit spellbound in the dark for half an hour or whatever it was, and give them a break.
I remember that on the longer field trips – the ones where the parents were invited, like the one to the Boston Aquarium – the school always changed to use city buses, because there was NO WAY that our parents would tolerate five minutes in the foul-smelling school buses with windows that didn’t open, no ventilation, iron-hard seats, and the suspension systems that were last replaced about thirty years prior.
Girl, what’s wrong with you? A field trip gets you out of school for a good part of the day! I LIVED for field trips! OK, so you have a little issue with morning sickness. Have your mom get you something to offset it.
Apologies if this has been brought up before, but shouldn’t Sally’s hair be colored all blonde/yellow? I know the pink in the front is supposed to be a bow or something, but I can’t recall seeing her hair with that look anywhere other than in these classic daily strips with color added.

And then they’ll end up in a supermarket, and mistake the soup cans for works of art, like they did in a certain Peanuts special.

If that was true, that custodian was a genius!

In Japanese schools, the students clean up the building. So by Sally’s logic, give the field trip students a break from cleaning.

Doesn’t the custodians get to clean up the bus, too?

I always liked Field Trips, anything that got me out of class was good. Except for those trips to the Principle’s Office.

I had this problem too! Get a thermos of ice cold lemonade and be near a open window!
