One of the great things about FIRST is that it is not school - its something different. You are not being graded or watched or measured on your participation and performance, you are being given an opportunity to work with engineers and other professionals to what careers in science and technology are like.

FIRST is not intended to be an educational program - its an inspirational program. How can you give a student a grade? Based on their level of inspiration?!

I dont have a problem with classes related to FIRST stuff, learning to program, learning about motors or mechanics, learning CAD tools or computer animation

but please dont take the FIRST experience and try to shoe-horn it into a HS classroom format.
i can see what your saying, and while i completely agree with you i feel that the resion for making the class is so a team can have more time to work on the robot during the six weeks thats just think.
