Re: Mentors not wanting to stay
1. Are the students really being productive? If my team is not being productive for several hours and then wants to stay late, why should I?
If I have students that are busting their butts and want to finish a task, I'll stay as late as needed.
2. I'm assuming you are based out of a school? If so, you need to find the teacher that is crazy enough to put in the required time.
Petition your school district to give the teacher a coaching stipend. To be a successful team you need a teacher that is willing to make this a year long adventure and a stipend may help you recruit one.
3. It takes a special kind of lunatic to be the school sponsor/mentor for an FRC team; when you get one be thankful.
