Re: Phone Policy

We haven't written the no-phone policy but we have warned members that if they aren't working, rules will be implemented and FRC will become more like school (no fun). We are trying to cultivate their maturity - help them on that path to being adults. Do your work because it needs to be done, not because there is someone standing over your shoulder. I don't have enough bandwidth to herd a team of cats.

So far, its working. But there are a few stray cats in the bunch. We encourage the senior members to watch out for the junior members when this starts happening to draw them back on task. As long as it stays fun, the members want to be there and they look forward to the next meeting.

When it starts feeling like school.... even I don't want to be there.
