Re: Saving seats and Dean's homework

As a teacher taking students on a field trip, I am legally responsible for supervising them at all times. (The school requires more forms and signatures than FIRST does.) It's a great group of kids, and I don't ever anticipate a problem. Supervision is a great way to keep it that way!

I think that FIRST should understand our responsibility to these kids, especially since safety is such a priority for them. If they do not want us to save seats, they need to block off sections. As it happened, we did not save seats, and there were not enough for all of my students to be together. It was a real problem.

There was a whole level of seating in the arena that was not made available until the elimination rounds. Perhaps that should be open the entire time if seating is a real issue. There was also a large section of "reserved seating" in the front center that was never used.

I enjoyed the competition, and I want to model to my students that rules should be followed. It is a problem, though, when the FIRST rules (not to save seats) directly conflict with my responsibilities as a teacher (to keep the kids together and supervise them at all times.) As it stands, we can't win on this one.
