Agreed!
If your formula works for your team, then it doesn't really matter what anyone else says. We are getting 96% of our students into college or university. The majority of the remainder are in trade schools or family businesses. That is our success, everything else is secondary.
When our students graduate, they know how to use tools, assemble robots, perform electrical wiring, program, work strategy, gather data, animate, design and CAD because they perform those functions on our team.
