I'd like to see more hands-on activities for those that learn visually and hands-on. Student hardly goes on field trips anymore, and the only field trips are from clubs or elective classes.

I asked some of the teachers for help and they told me to ask my parents for help. There were few class options and even fewer extracurricul...
