bruh they made us sit in the library and do homework for the whole day if we couldn’t afford the trips bc our school would lose some funding for lower headcounts per day. they essentially threw kids in jail for a day for being poor. I remember there was a weeklong science camp our whole grade went on… except the kids who sat in the library for a whole WEEK for being too poor.
Be Me
Ask mom for $20 for school field trip
Get kept home that day because we couldn’t afford it

Be me.
Only child of single mother
Ask mum for $20 for school field trip
She looks like shes going to cry
“Get in the car anon”
We drive into the city
She parks and tells me to wait
See her talking to man on corner. They go into his building and she comes out 30 minutes later
“Here’s your $20 anon.”
You’re welcome, by the way.
Ouch… After all these years this still hurts. Remember my mom asking the neighbors for a bit of money for my class trip.
