Our "Student Policy"
Altought we don't call it a student policy and its not really written down anywhere. The veterans on our team take on the responsiblity of weeding out the students who really don't want to be there. We do this by first talking to themabout the amoun of time they should put in. Then for the diffrent teams: mech and controls. We give all the new people the crappy jobs like sorting hardware and filings stuff that really does not have to be filed. If we find any students using materials from our storgage room to make something that hasent been authorized by at least one other veteran member then we warn them about doing it, if they do it again there gone.
Everybody who is intrested in our team we let join, this year that added up to over 140 students Throught team building and other activites we have cut that number down to about 90. From here we are going to start really pressuring them to take responsiblity on the team in some form or another. Throught this phase last year we dropped another 30 kids. Then through out the six weeks most likelyre are going to drop another 20-30 leaving us with just the students who each have there own job on the tam and no students who just sit around and do nothing.
It seems to be a pretty good system, I had to go through it to earn respect from the vets and now I'm doing the same, now that I'm a senior member.
