This. The reason they were acting poorly is that they weren't chaperoned properly. Could be the teachers sucked and didn't work hard enough to get chaperones for the trip. Could be that the parents are spread really thin, working 2-3 crappy jobs and don't have the luxury of taking time off from work to go on a field trip, so there were no parent chaperones. Could be the teachers didn't prepare them for the trip by explaining it well enough. Could be that they are at that age where they are trying to rebel and see how much they can get away with. Could be that there are a couple of bad apples in the group who will be in jail within 5 years and they were just ruining it for everyone else. But the major thing is that they needed more responsible adults to guide the kids.
