FAHA: Overbearing parents

[Ryan Albright]

Wow this is competely stupid and if this is a club at your school you should go to the principal or such. FIRST is for high school students, parents can bring great advice and especially food, but they have already picked were they are going in life. FIRST is for the kids to help them along for the future. You should have a sit down meeting and talk with these parents. In our team there our arguments between the mentors and the students but since its a student run team our elected captain gets the final say. I suggest having a meeting and electing on Student leader and one Mentor leader, so at the end of the day if there our qualms or dispuits they are brought to the two leaders and they have the final say. Its great to have mentors that are willign to help, BUT A ROBOT SHOULD NOT BE BUILT BY MENTORS. The students dont learn anything and that is the whole point of FIRST
