A teacher’s trip to Paris would be so much more relaxing if it didn’t require wrangling a pack of high school students, trying to interest them in language, art and history, and occasionally bribing them with les Big Macs.
Identifying call: ‘You do that again, son, and you’ll be on the next plane home!’

Had to chuckle, reminds me of the trips to Sydney and Canberra that our art and history teachers bravely chaperoned when I was in high school 🙂
Fortunately I never had to chaperone one myself in my (brief) teaching career.
