Teachers of Reddit what the worst thing that happened on a school trip?

I went on a church weekend retreat at a camp about an hour away, and we took a school bus there. We were third and fourth graders. At some point, the bus got over heated and started steaming. Clouds of steam were rising up from the back of the bus. The bus driver pulls over and angrily stomps to the back of the bus and yells “WHO IS SMOKIN’ ON MY BUS?” Someone explained to her that no, a fourth grader was not smoking on her bus, that the bus was the one doing the smoking.

Later, at some point during the retreat, were hiking in the woods. A boy, I’ll call him Dave, was a pretty decent kid, and definitely NOT a racist. Dave was talking to his friend about some random non-racist thing. All of a sudden the education director stops us and says to Dave, “How dare you say that racist comment?” Dave was really confused, and started laughing. Then education director accused him of finding racism funny. She made him walk by her for the rest of the hike.
