Re: Another Culture Change

That is beyond wrong and I feel so bad for each and everyone of 1114's members and ashamed this happened while visiting!

This is an area that came up last year with a great team who made a design that I loved and it gives all of us reasons for not saying, "that is too crazy" and it ended in a lot of harsh words. I am still in shock that this happened at a FIRST event and that it wasn't isolated and it went as far as BOOing.

Team 1114 is everything that I want our team to become and the level of dedication they teach at Governor Simcoe is something that I envy and respect. They have taken each season and learned from mistakes, celebrated innovation, helped the new and struggling teams, and spread FIRST in so many ways. Thank you 1114 for inspiring me!

Poor haters... they could have so much fun and do so well if they just tried.

This is why we try to keep the students from speaking negatively about other teams because this is where it leads. If ever a student said a negative comment I would either A. Say why they are wrong and point out where they got it right and if it wasn't working B. Have them ask if they need help.
