Field trip? Really?
At the risk of sounding old, when I was in highschool and went on field trips, we were usually taken to a museum, theater, or a hike outdoors. That's why I was so surprised to see a crowd of (highschool? middle school?) kids swarming the iPad display at the Apple store yesterday. Educational? I don't think so. Satisfying their curiosity? Sure, "many of these kids won't see and iPad until it's down to $30" (Ben). Fun? Definitely, beats math class.
Still something about it strikes me as wrong.

Instead of encouraging a love for the arts or for nature these kids are learning the art of consumerism. I agree with you, Keren. It just seems wrong.
