This is a good idea, no wait, a great idea. We have kinda the samething here, the mentors don't get there until 4-5pm, and the high school ends aroud 2:30, I think. This time should be used for studying and not just waiting for the mentors or playing games.

For one of my classes (which met three times a week), I was going maybe once a week. By the end of the semester, I'd skipped more Friday classes than I'd gone to. So, the moral of the story to all of you, especially current and prospective college FIRSTers: go to class! School is more important than FIRST, bar none.

I more or less paraphrased than quoted, but your right. You should never miss a class if your in college, and it doesn't matter if its a community college or a university. Unless your sick, car problems, or something more important comes up. I know theres already a thread on this subject, but It also needs to be here. This thread is mostly about the high schoolers, but does apply the college students.

I started this post before you posted, but 100 students! You must have a lot of fun with that many people. Anyhoo, I'm off the subject and need to go get ready for something. Thats my final 2 cents.
