Being asked to take children back to school trip location

[ILoveMyKidz]

My daughter is in year 7 and went on a school trip to a town 15 miles away for history. Whilst there is started to rain and they were unable to do a part of the trip. My daughter (and the rest of the class) was sent home with a letter from her history teacher asking for the children to be taken by the parents back to the town and to do the activity that they'd not been able to do as it is imortant for the children to do this activity for future lessons.

We had to pay £25 for the trip to cover cost of the coach and then an activity that they were able to complete.

AIBU to think if it's that important then the school should take the children back themselves and not expect parents to take them?

Having done MANY a geography field trip in the rain, they are being totally U. You cna do stuff with pens and pencils in the rain!

The school saying that it is for future lessons then they are saying that the parents MUST take their child or they will be disadvantaged in lessons. All kinds of wrong IMO. It is up to the school to dealing with this and plan the lessons so whatever needs to be learnt can be. We are FSM and there is no way we can afford to spend money on petrol/entry fees etc just to top up what school can't. We take DS' schooling very serious but also have to eat/heat our home etc
