Turns out, I learned something. Mainly, the difference between concrete and cement. They are not interchangeable terms, people. Cement is a powdery ingredient—along with water, sand, gravel, and chemicals—in concrete. As the civil engineer leading the tour put it, "Cement is to concrete as flour is to bread." Also, cement comes on big ships from Korea. And I do not like the color grey when it comes to concrete blocks. Too institutional, if you ask me. I prefer buff or terra cotta.
Oh, one more thing. Oblivious rabbits hop around sand and gravel pits.

Well, good for you for saving the class trip! ;) And you learned something, too...can't beat that.
yeah and I think there is also that whole thing about who wants to go on a class trip with middleschoolers!
That is so weird about the rabbits!
You are a good parent. I love that schools are still going on field trips, even if it is to the sand and gravel pit. Hey, it beats the sewer sanitation plant.
I always hated it when my parents chaperoned school trips.
that cement v. concrete discussion sounds scintillating.
I've often found that a lot of those tours are way more interesting than I think they're going to be.
