00:54 one student connor pritchard had to spend six weeks at the burns unit of royal manchester

01:16 when organizing a school trip for kids maintaining a head count at every step is essential teachers
01:22 at broadstone middle school in pool england learned this the hard way during an excursion
01:27 to london in july 2023 after an event-filled day involving a river thames cruise a visit to
01:34 buckingham palace and a viewing of the musical wicked the pupils returned to their hotel around
01:39 11 p.m however a boy who had dozed off on the way was inadvertently left behind in the bus
01:45 and spent the night in the hotel car park where do you think you're going please can i just leave
01:53 i've been on this bus for 40 years not until you pay your fare he was only discovered the next
01:59 morning by the bus driver understandably the parents were outraged prompting the school
02:04 to apologize and launch an investigation into the incident number 18 lost in the mountains
02:12 venturing into the mountains with no map or compass often leads to one getting lost
02:17 as exemplified by this 2004 incident during a hike to the scottish highlands 39 students from
02:23 the beth jacobs seminary for girls in east london were led astray by an unprepared teacher the group
02:29 had reached the peak of a 2500 foot mountain only to be disoriented by descending mist the false
02:35 stench of death is upon us hamburger their teacher lacked any essential tools and even had to borrow
02:43 a student's phone to call for help shockingly rescuers discovered the students dressed in
02:48 skirts and trainers without any form of protective gear however none of them was injured when
02:54 interviewed later the rescue chief dubbed them the most ill-equipped group he had ever seen
02:59 number 17 sainsbury's inappropriate blunder when pupils of burton and primary in suffolk england
03:06 went on a trip to sainsbury's outlet they probably expected to bring back sweets instead they were
03:12 handed a book titled how to change the world for a fiver while this may have seemed like a great
03:17 way to promote a reading habit the book turned out to be wildly inappropriate for children it
03:22 contained among other things illicit illustrations as well as instructions on how to talk to
03:27 strangers and hand them your phone number after the mix-up came to light sainsbury's apologized
03:33 and issued one girl a 30 pound voucher to spend let's hope they also didn't mistakenly direct her
03:39 to the adult section of the store okay babe here's what i did tell me if this is appropriate for a
03:43 kid song i changed the lyrics in sex hair to yeah i got sex bears number 16 field trip to hooters
03:52 a group of eighth graders from burwick middle school in pennsylvania got a little more than
03:57 they bargained for while on a field trip to the national aquarium in baltimore i know just the
04:01 place when it was lunchtime the class of around 100 students had to be divided into smaller groups
04:10 and sent to different restaurants as a result one group of 15 to 20 students ended up dining
04:15 at a hooters the restaurant which has gained far more recognition for its attractive waitresses
04:20 than its food was more than happy to welcome the kids you put your friend's side out you put your
04:27 friend's side in and you shake it all about you do the hokey pokey although it seems none of their
04:32 parents was bothered by the provocative pit stop the school superintendent admitted that it was
04:37 probably not the most appropriate choice but i was only in there to get directions on how to get away
04:42 from there number 15 toxic waste site the ideal school trip balances fun and education hey they're
04:49 trying to learn for free get them in 2012 an excursion organized by the kettleman city elementary
04:56 school in california seemed to achieve this balance albeit with an added layer of a health
05:01 risk the trip saw 83 students from the fifth through eighth grades take a tour through the
05:06 kettleman hills hazardous waste facility to learn about better environmental practices however this
05:12 move didn't go down well with residents of the town who were still in conflict with the facility
05:17 over a spike in birth defects which they attributed to their landfills
05:20 the management defended the trip arguing that such visits were commonplace and that written
05:34 consent had been obtained from the children's parents number 14 kids at the adult store to
05:41 present her students with more practical lessons a sex education teacher at a minnesota school
05:47 decided to take them to an adult store starry hedges of gaya democratic school took around 12
05:52 students on the trip which was aimed at promoting healthy discussions about human sexual behavior
05:58 but it probably would have been a great idea to seek their parents permission first although hedges
06:03 claimed that nothing explicit was shown to the kids that did nothing to quell parents anger one
06:08 father whose daughters went on the trip was so enraged that he removed them from the school it
06:14 may not have been the best excursion idea but at least the kids learned a great lesson on consent
06:19 okay we'll get these kids out of here number 13 segregation at the movies you get us that mission
06:26 we will light up the board red tails is a 2012 war film about a group of african-american military
06:33 pilots who overcame racial discrimination during world war ii the film's themes were so inspirational
06:39 that a school district in dallas texas organized a field trip for students to see it at the cinema
06:44 however the administrators decided to take only their male students and leave the girls behind
06:49 their reason there wasn't enough space for everyone and they thought the girls may not
06:54 appreciate the war film in total 5 000 boys went to the movies while the female students stayed
07:00 back and watched akila and the b the move drew intense backlash with many calling out the school
07:06 for reinforcing stereotypes and discriminating against the female students number 12 cheaper by
07:12 the septet what do you expect when you're expecting your child back home from a school trip certainly

08:04 lie with the parents number 11 cub scouts hike leads to nude beach in january 2015 a group of
08:12 cub scouts went on a hike through tori pine state park in san diego california the group consisted
08:18 of about a half a dozen kids their parents and the pack leader desmond wheatley and this isn't
08:23 exactly a beach you can just wander on to you have to hike down there uh the sunbather said that they
08:28 weren't walking by the water they were walking by the cliffs all was well until wheatley led the pack
08:33 through blacks beach which is typically populated with beachgoers who prefer to keep things natural
08:39 as a result the kids encountered dozens and dozens of nude people and a friend came jogging over and
08:44 said you won't believe what i just saw he said there's a pack of boy scouts walking this way
08:51 they could have turned back but then they'll just be walking through the same wave of naked bodies

10:10 injuries rescue crews were able to save the stranded student and airlift him to get medical

10:26 hospital if they learned anything that day it was to stick to the main trail and to stay with
10:31 the rest of the group number eight robbery in the red light district the craziest things you might
10:42 expect to happen on a physics field trip is that a student makes some sort of scientific breakthrough
