My 13-year-old daughter also went on a school field trip for three days last week. She and her friends went to a training center situated in the middle of a mountain area in Wonju, Gangwon Province, about two and a half hours away from Seoul. So virtually it was her first proper overnight school trip. But the biggest and most tragic accident involved students on a school trip to Jeju Island ― the sinking of the Sewol ferry in April 2014. When children go on a school trip, they and their parents never doubt that they will return home days later.
