Re: Suggestions for 18 hour bus trip
 
Dave's baked beans comment made me think of something really important that almost no one remembers... If the bus has a bathroom, buy a can of Lysol or some other air cleaner or neutralizer because someone is bound to use that bathroom and it's a bit overwhelming for the people who have to sit near the bathroom. On our trip to Atlanta last year we pulled over at a grocery store so that we could purchase said item.

After reading this thread, I guess all I can say is that I am all the more grateful that our teachers, parents, and mentors trust the judgement of our students.

Our rule of thumb is "Whatever you do, don't annoy [head teacher]"

For students that may be all thumbs, the alternate rule is "Whatever you do, don't annoy [head teacher]"

This annoyance policy is quite effective, since no one quite knows what will cause annoyance. As far as consequences go, well... let's just say that we never make the same mistake twice - though we may become more creative in our endeavors :)

With the school year rapidly drawing to a close, I would not be surprised to see students whip out their textbooks and term papers - especially on long hauls via road. Since we have many students on our team enrolled in AP classes (mostly Calculus AB and BC), we often study and work on practice tests together. From my experience, there is awfully little mischief that can be caused in such severely limited space.

I agree, if they are not old enough to be responsible on a bus ride they are definitely not responsible enough to go to Atlanta.

What exactly is the motivation behind separating the males and females?

This is by far the most replies to any of my posts on C.D. :)
Maybe some missed that seperating girls and boys was only during the lights out time midnight to 7 AM.

Plain and simple, I trust my team but teenagers make ill advised choices at a moments notice. I will have 32 students ranging from 9th grade to 12th grade and feel that I must provide resonable assurances to parents and school district administrators that I am being prudent.

I think my basic plan will work and did pick up some good tips such as the scheduled bathroom/stretch break just prior to lights out to facilitate the transition to gender based seating. I also liked the idea of renting a movie trilogy or complete season of a TV show. This will date me but I can watch MASH everyday two or three times in a row and never get tired of the humor. I did find the power inverter idea to run a lan party or game system interesting but I don't think I can swing that set up with the week and a half left before we depart.

Thanks for all the suggestions and we'll be seeing you in Atlanta. We will be the team with purple and yellow tie-dyes. :cool:
