It makes me think that most people don't understand what "rural" means. They don't understand that the closest business that employs more than ten full-time people is forty miles away. They don't understand that a run to Home Depot or Lowes is a 45-mile round-trip. They don't get that finding students willing to dedicate their winter only to FIRST is, by and large, a pipe dream...

It is for this reason that I founded my non-profit to promote FIRST through the rural Southern Tier and Finger Lakes region. In spite of all the challenges, there is no reason why every rural school should not have a FIRST team.
Are you sure we are not on the same team? This sounds very much like us! And I respect your view on the topic very much.
