You also know the 80 person team I come from so I'm also not making a biased opinion on the matter.

So now some awards are second class citizens? Yup, great way of encouraging students right there...

We have an active parent organization and even if we didn't, getting up late to go drive students home or early to get a student to the bus for a trip is still a real effort.
If you wear the shirt, you participate with the team. It's the price you pay for wearing tie dye.

Al, I won't tell a student they can't come to a local event. But on 397 our policy was if you participate we cover your costs and excuse you from school. If a student didn't put in the effort during build we just didn't cover their costs to travel or excuse them from school. THOSE are privileges and needed to be earned. This policy was partially based on a student who we DID excuse from school thursday/friday and then never showed up saturday.
