MAILING LISTS

I'd like to thank Richard Hake for pointing out the archives search.  By 
reading some past posts, I had many questions answered--even questions I 
didn't know I had yet ;)

I'd like to ask two more questions:

1.  In high school, I have students dropping/moving away/moving in all 
year long (and far more leaving than coming in).  What do you do if a 
group gets too small?  I can anticipate the complaints from both 
students and parents about a group with only 3 or 4 members while all of 
the other groups have 6.

2.  About weighting the different components of the class (individual 
RAT, team RAT, etc.):  I KNOW I will have parents complaining if team 
RATs are 10% in one class and 15% in another, especially if they are 
just different sections of the same class.  Do you think I should just 
set something that is reasonable?  Or should I have the process of 
choosing the weights take place over several days, until I can get 
agreement between all sections of the same class?
