Previously, if it was unexcused you received a 0


And that approach is antiquated, lacks an emphasis on educating and developing the student. Discipline doesnt need to be enforced at the cost of education and development. Sure, you can require a kid to complete work for a score of 0 before returning to school but why not offer an opportunity to get more than a 0?

There's alot of room for compromise, penalties, personal development, education and engagement between 0 and 70/75.

What's the point of turning in homework if there's no deadline that is enforceable?

Please don't take that I said as not enforcing a deadline. Educating is not just As or Fs and 100s or 0s.

You enforce the deadline and implement "penalties" for late work. If you're work is late because you were suspended you still do it, turn it in for a grade and cannot return to school until it's turned in and completed. The more time you miss, the more penalties you incur on other days.

get suspended for any reason? who cares, free vacation and you get to make up all the missed work


For the life of me I am trying to see how this is a bad thing? One of the main objectives of school is to educate. That's the first mission. Not only should they be allowed to complete all work to count towards their grade, it should be a requirement before being allowed to come back.
Where are you staying?

I think, ultimately, the exact course isn't as important as finding one that fits the best schedule / proximity.

If you're staying down 182 then I say make the third course GulF Shores Golf Club OR you can book two back to back rounds at Peninsula on different days but the same times and get to play two different layouts. With 27 holes you would only repeat 9 holes on consecutive days.

Conceivably, if staying down near Ft Morgan you could do something like a morning round Peninsula and a twilight round at Gulf Shores Golf Club. Then, the next morning play Peninsula again for a different layout.

Then, the last day play Kiva Dunes and avoid driving up towards Foley completely.

If you play Gulf Shores Golf Club, Kiva and Peninsula, id prefer just staying down there than driving up near Foley to play Craft Farms but no real issue with subbing Gulf Shores Golf Club for Cotton Creek.

Which is why it's common to feed them so they swallow.
LSU is plus money in week 1 and -158 to get to 9 wins (giving that game as a probable loss). So you're looking at a 61% (ish) shot to win 9 games and somewhere around 50/50 to get to 11.

If they beat Clemson, which I have little confidence they will, their odds will drastically change but for now I would bet no. They do not make the CFP.

BK needs to do something week 1 for me to buy into this pre-season hype we've been fed the last two years.

And nickel and dime everyone for everything.
The legal drinking age in Mexico is 18 so the first decision comes down to understanding that. Just want to 100% make sure you and your sister are considering this in his "freedoms".

I honestly think most "good" kids that age would prefer a cruise unless they're just looking to get drunk. AIs, in general, just don't offer much inside the resort for kids that age and don't normally have alot of other teens there at that age.

That being said, if the AI is the route you both want to go, understanding you're giving 18 year old kids free range to all the alcohol they can get, Breathless and Temptation Cancun both generally have younger clientele and are considered more "party" resorts.
You were saying you would love to avoid mobile, but even with the tunnel traffic more times than not it’s going to be faster than driving. So if for some reason, you just want to take the ferry then yes you’re likely gonna have to wait but you’ll accomplish your goal, even though it will likely take longer to get there.

They don't care about looking for it but if they find it, they can definitely care about enforcing it. bring some empty melatonin gummy bottles to stash it in.
