Rental car question: is there a noticeable difference between Premium Cars and Luxury Cars for Avis rentals? Worth the cost difference? Will be from IAH.

Will be driving a fair bit in Texas this weekend, and I want a car that's comfortable to drive while being nimble enough to dodge the Mad Max paper plate Altimas that seem native to Texas interstates

Honestly, just book the cheaper one for now and then ask what they have when you arrive. Pick the car and decide on the spot if the price is worth it

Every time I book with Avis, I pick one of the sedan levels. I show up at the airport and I either ask if they have something else (infrequently) or I’m magically upgraded to an SUV at no add’l cost

Pro Tip: Download the app. If you have a membership with Avis (it’s free) and you book a full-sized sedan, you are allowed to upgrade to any car on the lot for free using the app. It lets you pick once you’re like 30 minutes away from your reservation.

I once got a yukon for like $150 total for 4 days. This was with the Deloitte Discount (which you should be using if you aren’t already. Probably one of the best partnerships deloitte has, legit saves you hundreds on each booking)

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
