Those books are distracting from the real learnin' that's taking place in front of your very hands! Put them books away. Unless they've got something useful like maths or physics, then read them so you can work on your design work.

This point came up at an event I was at. Maybe it's my team dynamic, but sometimes there will be down time, for whatever reason. Especially for teams not based in a school, bringing extra work to do during these times is something to do besides sitting or wandering. It was also noted that parents wary of the time commitment required for FRC would feel a bit better if they felt like kids were still taking schoolwork/homework into consideration.
