I had a really weird teacher during my soph and jr years of HS...but she made some wonderful field trips.
Best ever: we had a field trip to go see the movie Pleasantville. She was enamored with this film and so she arranged for the movie theatre to open early so we could see it.
2nd best: was part of our art history course (of which we did for like three weeks, twice a week). Went to the Country Club Plaza in KC, and had to take pictures of like 5 statues or fountains. It was set up like a scavenger hunt basically, in that we had to find them, but our only time limit was lunch...At the Cheesecake Factory. Afternoon was followed up by the Nelson Atkins Art Museum, and by that point I was old enough to appreciate it more. Ended up being a most excellent day, as we didn't have to do much besides look at art.
