Re: What percentage of FRC teams should attend championships?

We were on the wait list this year and turned it down, even though we captained the #3 alliance in Denver. I got my butt handed to me by administrators, testing staff (our kids missed mandatory testing while we were in Utah), concerned parents, other teachers, and stressed out kids. And we are a well supported program at our school; the team gets tons of respect. There was no way we would have been given a pass to go to CMP unless we had won the state. I don't at all get what people are talking about when they say that kids would do well to go and not compete.
