Thanks for replying so quickly, I'll take these ideas into account...  |
Oh, i think you'll find that this is a pretty rampant problem. I know at my school, they refused us any funding or assistance other than being able to use our school name at competition. It wasn't until this year that we got noticed, but when we brought home a trophy from the regional, the principal refused to put it into the trophycase, he just put it on his desk.
they still have not allowed us to work on school grounds, and still have not given us any teachers or money to work with. That's the main reason I am coming back as a mentor next year... because they sure as heck aren't going to get any help from SHS.
the big thing you want to remember is that most school administrations do not understand the full implications of the task we are set to accomplish every year in FIRST. Whether it be the money aspect, or the tools required, they simply don't understand how taxing it is to do what we do.
