FAHA: Overbearing parents

[rees2001]

As a team co-ordinator I would want to know if students or mentors on our team felt this way. I know there are times when one sub-group or another has a lull, less work than the other groups. It is during that time that a students true nature is shown. Some students will go and watch other groups, some will ask "what can I do?", others will sit around and do nothing, and lastly some will fool around. As a team leader I hope for the first 2.

We try to make sure everybody has an important role, and no students are put to the front of the group because of thier parents. Some students find thier way to the front through hard work and creative ideas. If you feel some students are unfairly benefiting from their patents' help I would hope you could approach your team leaders and they would listen. It may help to write down the problems you are having and, how those make you feel. The last thing you want to do is threaten your team leaders or mentors with an overthrow. It may help if you have your parents talk with the team leaders.
Good luck
