[quote=Anonymous]My son (rising senior) wants to join a team that is a little far away from school and won’t easily make it to practice on time. Other kids also arrive late due to the start time being shortly after school is over, but if he is frequently late then he will miss out of a significant portion of the instruction, which would defeat the purpose of joining the better team.

He’s a pretty responsible kid and will have a car this year. I want him to be able to join this team because he really wants to and I know it will be good for him. He will play this sport at D3 in college. He needs and wants a more challenging team and the option close to our house just wasn’t cutting it.

An idea I have is giving him a bit every day that would let him leave school 15 minutes early, and let him use his discretion when to leave early vs. when he needs to stay to complete a test or important assignment. Could this work? Or would we inevitably run afoul of having annoyed teachers who give him a bad grade? We are in FCPS with block scheduling which is good and bad.
