One minute Free write on The Field Trip

"Chaperons are much needed, the more eyes we can keep on these ill behaved children, the better." Muna says as she crosses off another student from the list.  The students were excited for the field trip, the first field trip they had planned all year, and it was March, the closing of the school year was approaching rapidly.  Both Muna and Amal still had to plan for at least two more trips to meet the vice principal Diko's mandated quota.  Diko came to observe each teacher's classroom once a week, and he came armed with a pad of paper and pen to document any strangeness of a teacher's room.  Diko's ,Kenyan disposition shown tall in his stick figure walk and his demeaning stare at every entrance to a teacher's classroom.
