Re: Why do team's fold?

My anecdotal experience is the same as Rick's. Loss of main teacher sponsor/lead mentor is a killer.
Another problem I've seen several times is the mentors not getting along. It will fracture teams, sometimes they'll split off and make new teams and usually both teams fail.
The common denominator is that when adults can't play nicely in the sandbox, it's the students that suffer.
