My school does the same thing but don't let them. Our school wont let us edit our website, doesn't support the program, and every time something goes wrong in the computer system we get called to the office and blamed for that mess.
At the same time, through the efforts of the students and our mentors (mostly them), have gotten 2 FRC teams at our highschool, 2 FTC teams (one in highschool, one in middle school), 4 FLL teams in our middle schools and a budding JFLL (elementary school) program that has one team to date and should be growing to 5 next year.
We have found that this is a great way of getting members for the FRC teams, if the kids start doing FIRST when they are 6 by the time they are 16 it won't be a question as to what they are doing on the first weekend of January, kick-off. It's just like cigarette companies, hook 'em while their young...
