Same here. Further, in Louisiana, high school students can only have five absences per semester. Excused absences count against these five, the difference being whether students can make up the work, or must take zeros for work due those days. Field trips taken by official school groups are not considered absence, and work can be made-up. These tight rules would make it rather difficult to field an FRC team that is not either related to a school (or perhaps two or more schools, as is the case with 1912) or that is effectively a home-school cooperative.
