My granddaughter is on a school trip today and both local schools have high school visits by the new intact this week , they stagger it so only one class of the year leaving middle school go to the new school each day, they are expected to find their own way there and tend to go in groups and stick together... there are myriad reasons for your sightings Frank.

Quite right, Bags. this seems to be the time of year for school trips. I often see a 'crocodile' of kids from one or other of the local schools waiting to cross the road under the charge of several teachers and/or TAs.

Have you heard of school trips, Frank? Might the kids have been on one?

The school was being silly when it objected to her being late after a hospital appointment.... unless, of course, you forgot to tell them in advance.

I was out at 10.30 this morning and I saw about 20 children at a bus stop and the school they were going to was about 3 miles away.
On Friday I saw a group about the same size from the same school at 2.40pm in the same area.
I know when I was at school there were always the odd pupil going to hospitals etc but not that sort of number at one time.
What I can not understand is I took my granddaughter for a check up about a month after Christmas at a private hospital and the school was not happy as she did not get in till 9.40am.
She had the main operation during the school Christmas holidays and if that had been in term time I think she would have lost 2 or 3 days schooling.
