They still do not understand it the way we want them to understand it. Since students are not allowed into the meetings, we can't exactly show the schoolboard how it gives us the experience. It's just too late with kick-off next week. Its just easier to forget the hassle and join our other team. It might not be the same experience, but we still get to be involved with FIRST. I just wanted to let other teams know that they are not the only ones out there with school-related problems. (It might just make them feel a bit better).

WAIT your students are allowed into school board mettings ?!?! Thats Ridiculus

When I lived in Alexandria, VA Students were allowed, What type of bull is that. I would look into that. I really dont know how the education system runs down there anymore. But there is no reason you shouldn't be allowed into school board meetings.
