The adults who show up for 1 day, and have strong opinions and behavior to insist how things be done, the students who show up periodically and have strong feelings then disappear while the core students and mentors are working on his project to finish it and he reappears to pick up his project again, mentors who are here far less than other mentors and think they are the only one who can build a robot, or their not being here is the reason for every failure that in reality is a learning experience, and they believe they can override the core mentors' decisions. How 'bout the parent who wants her kids on the team, they don't attend the kickoff, or the meetings for the week after, so they aren't assigned on a subteam, she complains by email how our team does things administratively tho they haven't even been attending, then they do show up and her expectations were that we tutor her kids in person when they did finally arrive. She left in a huff cuz that didn't happen within the two hours she allowed them to be here.
Yeh, been there.
