Re: FAHA mailbox: How to handle student curfew at competition?
SigmaC@T's philosophy has always been sorta lax on the subject. Best way to enforce curfew: keep the students busy during the day, and don't overly enforce the curfew. By 11:00pm or midnight, our team is usually dead asleep. Saturday night, we had team members wake up in the wrong rooms, because they juss fell asleep in the wrong room without realizing it. Keep em busy, keep em moving.
Also, If you over-enforce curfew, you'll get the rebelious ones to want to break it just because it's there. Tell everyone there's a 6am wake up call, and you're not getting back to the hotel until 10pm. Most kids get the idea and start heading to sleep even before curfew sometimes.
