I agree for some of our students at 13 it's best we move them up to FTC. With both Michigan and US FIRST guidelines we are able to do that.

Michigan on the other hand is now limiting and leaving out the students who are not ready to move up. All students learn at different paces and some are simple not ready at 13 to move up. I don't want to see those children left out.
