I don't like the idea of educational tours of field trip will be banned

There were already continous issues here in the Philippines regarding the educational tours or field trip wherein the students died due to accidents like some of them hit and run by the bus itself, Korean students drowned in falls or river, and by the bus accidents. Since it is the fault of the transportation authority and the blame is always with school then some parents demands to stop the educational trip to prevent students from harm. I disagree with that idea of banning the educational trip or field trip since students needs educational exposure on the outside world and usually we are using what we have learned from the trip as part of education as well not because we are just having fun there. Though I will agree to the fact of continuing it as long as there will be safety measures already and the school must be responsible to the safety of a transportation especially bus if this is not defective. Students or parents will pay for the accident insurance so that in case that accident will happen then of course the school can shoulder it. Although there must be really a waiver for it wherein parents allow their children of having their field trip. I would also agree to the fact that educational trip must not suppose to be too far away especially if the kids are involve here. This incident reminds me of my niece that we accompanied her during her field trip then we were stranded 4 hours at the SLEX or middle of the road which was bridge like we are really far far away from the establishments. It is because the bus was defective during that time and it took us long to wait for another bus. Imagine we were with the toddlers that are just 4 to 5 years old. The only thing I am grateful about is that we were all safe which is the most important. What if something happened to us? Even if the kids are with parents then the trip should not be that so far. When we were still in elementary days I remember that we are just having educational trip within Manila and when I am already high school the most far place that we went was Los Baños already. I just also hope that students knows how to discipline themselves as well especially for a fact that most of the time teachers are just only one in each class while students are many.
