Safety on School Trips

I don't know if anyone heard today, but a school girl drowned in Long Beach. She was on a field trip.

This brings up an interesting question. Who is responsible for the child while on a field trip?

Wouldn't it be the teacher or coordinator of the trip?

Take a look at this and give me your thoughts:

This is indeed tragic, and yes, I believe the teachers/coordinators are meant to act in loco parentis. That said, tragedies do happen, nand we shouldn't be too quick to rush to bla,e anybody just yet

As a parent, I sometimes have to fight the impulse to lock the kid up in a little cubby hole just to make sure she's extra safe and protected from the world.

@JenMac: Lifeguards are there, but they can't see everyone. At the time of the drowning, the article does not say whether the lifeguard was on duty.
