Only secondary school trip was organised by our geography teacher and the best school day out ever. Climbed a hill, visited a hydro dam, discovered some amazing tucked away places with waterfalls and learned about the geology of the areas we visited - free.
Other than that we had various trips on the Waverley Paddle Steamer to exotic destinations like Rothesay.
Luxury!!

Well it seems the claims of parents being pressurised into paying for something they can't afford were bollocks then.

Loads of London kids going on all expenses paid trips to Syria at the moment. No doubt quite an educational experience....

Any school trips we had were half-terms or holidays. They wouldn't take us out of all classes to try to improve just one. They were a bit like Spock in the reactor chamber, like that.

I know what the excuses are. That was not what I was pointing out.
The practicality is that when I take kids abroad, I try to encourage them to communicate in the language and understand/participate in some of the customs.
Kid 2 went to France 2 weeks ago, £350 for 3 days. When he came back I asked him how many new French words he had learned? Zero.
