Your school work comes first, even if your in college. I think that most teams would have a policy that you need to be passing your classes in order to go. We have something like that, I'm not completely sure about the final answer on it. If your in college and mentoring, like me, your school work comes first. I did schedule my classes around the season, knowing when we worked late and when we didn't, but I did get my work done.

If anyones grades start to drop, because of the build season or anytime during the year, the team should help them bring their grades up. We will help any of our team members when they need it.

Anyhoo, my final thoughts are, that if you are failing a class or your grades are going down, then you need to do something about it. FIRST is not a class that the schools offer, its a extra event thats designed to give the students a look at other careers. To quote just about everybody, "School first, FIRST second."
