All report cards are reviewed by team advisor's, who are teachers at the school when handed out. Anyone that is unable to maintain their grades while participating in FIRST will forfeit their attendance at competitions and/or other team activities.

I hate to say this, but it sounds like you are excluding kids. You may not be, but it sounds like it. FIRST should be open to all students, no matter what their grades are at the beginning of the season. Not letting them go to a competition because of their grades is fine, but not letting anyone with a GPA less than 3.0 join doesn't sound right. Also it sounds like you are trying to perpare them for the real world by making them go thew a interview, thats a good thing. I may be interpreting this wrong and if I am please correct me.

Thats so right, and I'm just in my third semester of college and I know that you've got to want to learn or be left behind. Also there are classes that you might not need in your job. If your like me and are pursuing a technical career, then you don't need "normal" english classes. Just ones that help your communication skill in writing.
Anyhoo, again I'm off the main subject and I must of lied earlier when I said that was my "final thoughts on this." I'm not going too lie again, because I just might think of something that I want to say, again.
