I'm looking for statistical information on the benefits of museum field trips for school children. I'm interested in hard data... e.g., increases in grades, better test scores, the broader benefits to children... which might be out there. Our city is severely limiting the total number of field trips each grade can take, and in some cases is limiting WHERE those trips can go, so we're searching for data to bolster the teachers' needs. ---------- Allyn Lord, Asst.
