Were there "overseers" in this? We're missing some pretty big details about this excursion.



Truth. And You just reminded me of one of the funniest parts of Hollywood Shuffle.
That is a GREAT movie that should be watched by the current generation.

When I was in 8th grade two friends of mine dressed up for Halloween, one as a slave (black guy) the other as a plantation owner (white guy). everyone laughed and no one got offended

Kids and parents are too sensitive these days. Hell, when I was in the seventh grade, we re-enacted the Siege of the Alamo. A bunch of us kids got shot and bayoneted and no one gave a shite. Best damn learning experience ever.

What school takes 7th graders on a 4 day camping to?


What kinda school doesn’t.

We had a one week trip in 6th, 7th, 8th, and a weekend trip in 9th grade and 12 th grade.

To be fair that is a terrible fricking idea. Seriously who came up with that.
