My school has a policy of requiring a teacher in our lab to just be in the lab. So we can't even touch a screwdriver if our teacher isn't in the room. Now in theory I think this is a good policy, but the obvious caveat is that if we can't find a teacher to be in the lab we can't work at all. We have a teacher but, he's unreliable and often busy. Other teachers can help out sometimes when he can't. I just think its kinda sad that there are kids that really, really want to work on their robot and make it as good as it can be but aren't given the opportunity because of a lack of interest from teachers. Ah well its the way it goes.
