School trip – recreational or educational?

Our class is going to come to a trip, but we can’t decide if the trip should give us a new knowledge or maybe just chill out us. Some students prefer educational kind of school tours and the rest are of the opinion that trip is to relax. So what kind of tour is the best? It’s time to compare the opinions.

Educational trip is alternative way of learning. The new knowledge maybe better remembered on the trip than in school. I know it from my experience, students always don’t spending time in museum or on lectures, they are bored and they only wait on the next part of the trip like cinema or shopping. The next thing is students have many educational classes in school so they need rather some break and rest from learning.

To my mind Świnoujście is a good place to a few-days trip. It’s a lovely and picturesque harbor town. There is a ravishing beach, mostly at sunset time. This city has a vibrant nightlife. There are many cosy restaurants and coffeehouses on the promenade, near the beach. On the promenade are still playing different buskers, fiddlers, guitarists, we can even listen to Indian music. So this is really an interesting, nice place.

In my view, school tour should be mostly recreational. The educational aspects may be connected with recreational but it must be shown in an interesting and absorbing way.
