This is by far the most replies to any of my posts on C.D.
Maybe some missed that seperating girls and boys was only during the lights out time midnight to 7 AM.
Plain and simple, I trust my team but teenagers make ill advised choices at a moments notice. I will have 32 students ranging from 9th grade to 12th grade and feel that I must provide resonable assurances to parents and school district administrators that I am being prudent.
I think my basic plan will work and did pick up some good tips such as the scheduled bathroom/stretch break just prior to lights out to facilitate the transition to gender based seating. I also liked the idea of renting a movie trilogy or complete season of a TV show. This will date me but I can watch MASH everyday two or three times in a row and never get tired of the humor. I did find the power inverter idea to run a lan party or game system interesting but I don't think I can swing that set up with the week and a half left before we depart.
Thanks for all the suggestions and we'll be seeing you in Atlanta. We will be the team with purple and yellow tie-dyes.
