I mean, FIRST allows this to happen within the bounds of its program. The school official only needs to take somewhere between 5-10 minutes to complete the necessary requirements. |
Right, we wouldn't have done it if FIRST didn't allow it, it is just odd that the screening HAS to be those two people. It just makes more sense for an actual mentor who will be with the team frequently to be screened than it does an administrator.
On top of that, I know that I can do the screening tonight (for instance) whereas I have no idea when the administrator will be able to get it done.
