Re: At Competition

I have been watching this thread. I believe it is the responsibility of each team to determine the standards of decorum and civility they will strive for. Each team tries to attain gracious professionalism in a number of ways. Just having this discussion may create an awareness of the issue which is great.

As someone who has attended more than her share of events and volunteered at regionals, I shudder at the thought of having the "language police" riding herd on our teams. At times the zeal and power exhibited by the adult volunteers has been a tad over the top!!

We need allow each team to set their own standard of behavior for appropriate language, manners etc. Learning the culture of FIRST is a journey, not a given.

We teach and learn by example and action. Thanks for listening.
