[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Football players have been working out all summer and have 2 a days all August. Who cares if there is a meet on the 1st day of school. [/quote]

What does the pre-season practice schedule have to do with missing several hours of classes on the first day?[/quote]

Your student misses several hours of class for a meet?  That's something to complain about, not the fact that it's on the first day.[/quote]

Yes the buses have to take the kids and then be back in time to pick up the regular school routes.  They leave very early even if the meet is close by.[/quote]

Can you just drive to the meet? When my DC played soccer we didn't use school busses, we had parent driven carpools. They rarely missed a class. Same with other sports at our HS. [/quote]

This.  Can you organize a car pool?  Make everyone's life easier![/quote]

I have kids running xcountry/track at two different HSs.  They are both required to take the bus to events.  That is how the coach knows who is showing up.  The teams can have over 100 kids on them.  For my magnet kid we sometimes have to drive 25 mins to the school (on a Saturday) only to have her take the bus back towards our home.  [/quote]
