Dear Stewart, I spoke with the students tonight and they would like to consider extending curfew till 10 pm. Most nights I was with them we were out this late, and I did not feel it too late. Today they stayed at the school till about 7:30 and then had to hurry up and eat. I think it is ok, most nights they will be in by 9pm, but some they may want to take a walk with some friends to the square or get coffee or something?

Please share your thoughts. In my time with them they showed responsibility and caution, I think extending it an hour may be ok??    

For His Fame,
Matt
