Re: School problems
It's ok to rant and get it out of your system. But then it's time to move and decide what you're going to do about it. I know my previous post was too long, but this is an issue I feel strongly about. It's so much easier to work with somebody than to have an "us vs. them" mentality. We've been through so many of all the problems listed here. Team 007 gets no cash from the school system, but we do "use" the school and we have a teacher who cares. Otherwise there would be no team. Period. Each team is dealing with their own set of hurdles and it's part of what this is all about.
I'll say it again. Try to make it easier for them to understand what FIRST is about. Do a presentation. Talk about scholarships. Talk about volunteer hours. We spent 11,000 last year. Make sure someone keeps track of things like that. Be calm, be organized, be professional. Keep your sense of humor. Give your mom a hug for caring so much.
