Re: Press Release -- FIRST in ALL NH Schools
First off, I'd like to thank the Governor. He's setting a goal and attempting to lead people towards that goal. It is to be commended.
That said, however, his statements have to be taken with a grain of salt ... after all, It's election season.
I'd also like to point out that there is no mention of money from the state, instead he's asking private companies and local education systems (both already cash strapped in this economy) to foot this initiative, and man it as well.
I'm not sold on every school needing a team, and I actually believe that that may be counterproductive by diluting the talent pool of the mentors/volunteers. I do, however, believe that all students should have the oppertunity to join a FIRST program. Maybe by creating some district teams or such, rather than having teams be part of specific schools.
