That's kinda what I'm trying to prevent though...You don't have to make things harder for yourself, I'm just trying to make it easier.

Working hard and it still being worth it is one thing, but that doesn't mean something that isn't as hard (by involving teachers and parents) is not worth it. If you are able to get the help that you deserve then why not take advantage of it rather than struggling? And as Eric said, and I can vouch that neoshaakti feels the same way*, students move on and without a solid foundation of adults (even parents), a team cannot last as long as it could with those parents. I appluad your team Libby for taking charge of your team, however.

I know where you are coming from though.

*2554 is going through this right now

Students are seriously like variables when it comes to running a team, you need the constant of adult mentors or parents.
