Re: Help-Joining different district's team

You asked about homeschooled kids. At least two teams in FIRST are homeschooled--330 and 1315(?). 330 operates out of Hope Chapel Academy, which is a homeschooling group. I don't know how 1315 operates. 330 has recently expanded criteria for being on the team, so we have one team member who is not homeschooled, but he didn't have to change schools or anything.

In your case, I'd try and talk to your dad before he brings the case to the school districts and explain why you don't want to stay with your previous team, and that FIRST isn't football. If he still goes to the districts, try explaining the case to them.

This also sounds like a case that multi-school teams could help with. 294 is made up of two schools in two different districts. I'm pretty sure they aren't the only ones. This type of team could probably explain inter-district relations better than a homeschooler like me could.
