Re: Student Expectations for Travel

Quote:
We always eat as a team during competition. When we travel, this includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When we're going to a competition in town, it's generally only lunch, as students will do breakfast/dinner with their family, and we aren't responsible for them during those hours. This gives us a chance to hold team meetings while we eat, promote team bonding, and ensure no one is getting in trouble.
Jon, question on this - (it may be a dumb question but whatever) - are the kids responsible for paying their own way even when you have team dinners or does the team pay?

We tend to run into a problem that the kids don't budget appropriate for trips and their money is gone the first day - and they don't listen to us when we tell them that $20 isn't going to get them through 3 days in Boston or Manchester. Any suggestions for pounding this home?
