Re: Bad behavior in the hotels.
It is sad that you have had to face such an event, deal with it smartly.
Firstly, kids are kids. They will do things you don't like or want. They will do stupid things that could cost you something. They will do things that annoy everyone. They will do things that annoy other members on your own team itself. That is the first thing all mentors should understand because sooner or later there will be such kids on the team. It is almost inevitable. How many times is it that in a high level class(AP? Honors?) you find some kid asking absolutely stupid questions? It's just the way things work.
With that said, you need to learn to deal with it. On our team, we do give them some room to have fun. They know they are responsible for their actions and so they learn to control themselves at times. If by any chance they do go overboard, we send them back home on the next flight at the cost of their own parents + any cost they have to pay for damage. This includes bad behavior.
All in all, it is a competition with high school kids participating.
