Paris In July!!!
So, I'm going on a school residential trip to Paris in July, and one of the days we have "free time" - basically 18-odd hours where we can do what we like. What else was I gonna do?....

They allow you free time to do anything on school trips? You are lucky, we don't (two school trips to Italy I've been on!). It would be nice though, and I think that we should.Tube Geek wrote:So, I'm going on a school residential trip to Paris in July, and one of the days we have "free time" - basically 18-odd hours where we can do what we like.

Should I propose it to someone I think, using your school as an example of it working? (does it, or do some of the more disruptive students cause problems?)
As a side note, one of the students got a Yellow card in Geography (straight language detention) for purposely saying "Yes Miss" for the register to a male teacher after someone else had done it by mistake. (he gets a lot of detentions anyway, wonder if he cares about it?)
(My geography class is very disruptive and we were praised for finishing all the work in the first hour of double geography (meant for only that part of the lesson), even though that would be expected, wouldn't it?)

I doubt they will just let you wander round a city in a foreign country on your own all day without supervision.

Re: Paris In July!!!
Well, we have to say where we are at certain points (12:00, 13:00, 14:00 etc. etc. i think), so teachers can meet us there. However, i have seen who's coming, and am doubtful about this even happeninggreatkingrat wrote:I doubt they will just let you wander round a city in a foreign country on your own all day without supervision.

You got the problem students, then?
PS: Your 'where I am' each hour might seem a bit strange, at various (strange) points on the Paris metro. Also, a hint: http://carto.metro.free.fr/documents/Ca ... s.v3.9.pdf might be useful if you do get to do it!

Well, one of the students. The other ain't going. He's busy trying to pull a girl who's going out with a boy who's already had 3 girlfriends this year and is on his 4thA Challenge wrote:That is a shame if you don't get it, but we don't, so is it much to expect it?Tube Geek wrote:I mean the day of freedom!A Challenge wrote:You don't think you will be let away?Tube Geek wrote:Well, we have to say where we are at certain points (12:00, 13:00, 14:00 etc. etc. i think), so teachers can meet us there.

You could still go to Paris on your own (with parents)...

Re: Paris In July!!!
If you happen to be there around 14 July, Bastille Day, I highly recommend the fireworks display at the Eiffel Tower.
