Re: Grades and Student Travel, Etc

Being a former high school student on the team I am now a leader of, I understand that FIRST can sometimes cause a drop in grades. However my experience has been that during the build season i have always obtained my highest grades (Average in the fall Marking periods in high school was a 92.2%... in the springs it was an average of 96.5%) I guess the desire to do FIRST made me want to get my work done, because i knew that if i didn't get it done I wasn't going to be going to anything.

However, our team does not have this required GPA, which personally seems like a great idea. I would like to implement it onto the team, but im not sure how some of the high school teachers would take this (wether they would be for or against it.)

If you have any suggestions on how to break this to them or get them to join the band wagon please PM me.
