16 of the Worst School Field Trips Ever

‘They misled us into believing we were going to Six Flags’

At the risk of ruining a major reveal, hands-down the worst school field trip on this list is the one where a fifth-grade class went to a salt-processing plant and a child fell into a pile of salt, suffocated and died. There, it’s been addressed. 

Possessing that knowledge and wading through the other responses kinda makes the other allegedly bad field trips look pretty good in retrospect, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, the death of that child is still neck-and-neck with the Black person who had to go on a field trip to a farm and pick cotton all day. 

To that end, Redditors have lined up single file to recall the worst field trips they’ve boarded the bus for in their youth, and you gotta wonder what these schools were thinking.
