Thursday Practice Requirememts

From Coach Denise:

So there is no confusion for Thursday here is a recap for decathaletes and parents.
FOR THURSDAY ALL TEAM MEMBERS ARE TO HAVE PREPARED THE FOLLOWING:
20 cards on Monet - 10 on his life and 10 on his paintings, to include name of painting year painted and where.
5 cards on each subject you have been assigned for the civil rights movement
20 cards on your individual subject

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THESE PREPARED DO NOT COME ON THURSDAY GO HOME AND COMPLETE THEM. 
I understand that these are long days for you after being in school all day and studying in school, but we are only one month away and we have been doing this since October and I don't understand why no one is prepared with all their cards on their subjects.  Those of you who do have cards they are not concise and the questions are not thought provoking or thorough.  PARENTS please help your children prepare for their individual subjects, we have been focusing on Logic these past eight weeks and they were to be focusing on their individual subjects on their own. 75% of the class were unprepared today.  We coaches are devoting as much time and energy as possible to this but we can't do it all. The team needs to take personal responsibility for their individual subjects.  If any parent has time to devote this week and next to helping in the individual subject areas now is the time to devote to us.  You can look over their cards and see if they are understanding their subject. We want them all to succeed but after today I am not feeling very confident on the individual subjects, I hope I am wrong. Again any time you can devote in the next two weeks would be very much appreciated, there is only one of me and 10 of them.  Please call me if you can help or have any questions.
