I also know that from the typing speed of some members of the team, this could take a really long time! So instead I thought I\u2019d get together a list of the reasons why students <strong>SHOULDN\u2019T<\/strong> go on a school expedition. This list was much shorter and didn\u2019t take as long!<\/p>\n<p>So here are the reasons we came up with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The jealousy levels of friends who didn\u2019t go on the expedition may be too much to handle<\/li>\n<li>Potential for sunburn \u2013 not good for your health or image!<\/li>\n<li>Insane amount of increasing followers on Instagram<\/li>\n<li>On your next 1-2 week family holiday you will suddenly realise you miss your friends more than ever<\/li>\n<li>Do you really need to make more lifelong friendships?<\/li>\n<li>People will continue to ask about your expedition and you will end up telling the same stories on what might feel like repeat<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll have the worst post-expedition blues you\u2019ve ever had when you get home<\/li>\n<li>Who really wants to make their CV stand out anyway? Over-rated!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To all the teachers reading this, we came up with a few reasons for you as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Voluntarily spending more time than necessary with your students could be a challenge!<\/li>\n<li>Fighting all the other teachers who want a place on the expedition could result in injury<\/li>\n<li>Being the most popular teacher in the school, for probably a while, could be a hard reputation to maintain<\/li>\n<li>You will have to re-write your lesson plans so it incorporates the expedition<\/li>\n<li>Is six weeks long enough for a summer holiday?<\/li>\n<li>The struggle of starting back at school in September will be on another level<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a big responsibility to be the person who give students such an opportunity<\/li>\n<li>You will have an uncontrollable need to do the whole process again \u2013 every year!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So now you\u2019ve read all of our reasons against going on a school expedition it is down to you\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-181 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/tsec.meltdemo.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/inspirational-quote-by-giantsqurl.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theschoolexpeditioncompany.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/inspirational-quote-by-giantsqurl.jpg 480w, https:\/\/theschoolexpeditioncompany.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/inspirational-quote-by-giantsqurl-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you think going on a school expedition, <em>also known as a once in a lifetime, life-changing experience<\/em>, is really worth it????<\/p>\n<p>We know it is worth it! <strong>WHY? <\/strong>Because we run these expeditions every year and we are part of the incredible experiences and memories it provides \u2013 It\u2019s one of the reasons we love our jobs so much!
