Re: Eliminating "Start Build Day"
This thread contains some opinions that I found useful when thinking about all sides of the ways-to-alter-build-season and motivations-to-do-it conversations. I suppose what is in it could be used to bolster arguments advanced by just about anyone who takes a stand on the subject(s). For me that speaks volumes about those conversations.
Maybe a good takeaway from that thread and from some of the posts in this thread is that out of the constellation of possible changes, any change should be made cautiously, after a full exploration of the entire problem space.
Managing Grades and Responsibilities While On A FIRST Team
PS: Jane Young started the thread back in May of 2007. As recently as Jan of 2016 someone found the topic pertinent enough to contribute to the thread.
