Re: School and Robotics.....

My grades did slip each year, but only in the classes I never really was good in in the first place (Math for example). Though I do need math for my profession, I won't need Algebra II, or Geometry, etc. But it all is still good to know, so I am trying my hardest to get through Calculus at this point.

I go to a magnet school, which is basically a public school with an honors/GT (Gifted and Talented; a step above honors) program, specifically for science, mathematics, and computer science. It's a great school, but when I was a freshman, I was struggling, and when I was doing robotics, it got worse, but only in some classes. It isn't that bad now, but I got used to the times I'd be unable to do my work, and so I have a mental idea of what times I need to do my homework.

Here's a big tip: My team has our meetings from 4-8pm each day during the build season, except Saturday, when our hours are 10-4pm. I stay at school each day afterwards to do my homework before the meeting starts. I make sure the right books are with me so I don't have to do it all when I get home at 8:15pm each night. Take the initiative -- do the work when you have the time, before the meeting, possibly during the meeting, at break, etc. Don't cram it all in. It won't do you any good; trust me.

Re: School and Robotics.....

My grades went up last year during build, especially in math. Cyber Blue has grade standards, and I get it in my head that, unless i work until its finished, i'm just gonna fail...plain and simple. This year i didn't really see any change since the homework load dropped some

Re: School and Robotics.....

Just a few questions for teams who require a certain grades to be able to participate on the robotics team:

What is the allowed average?

Is it based on teachers recomendations/sugestions? (as sports are at our
school)

Has anyone not been allowed to participate because of their grades?
