Shortbang- be careful not to villanize Mrs Engel lest she actually check these boards or the statements said here accidently make their way to her. If you do villanize her it will make her much more unlikely to negotiate with you.

If it sounds like I'm villanizing her, i don't mean to. She's definitely a great help to the team, and we couldn't of done it without her. But, she's still the one that had the final say in not letting those who dont attend the tech center in. As great as she can be, and as nice as she is, I have to disagree with her decision.

looking back through this thread I dont see any reason given for why this change was made.

Do you know why the membership rules were changed? If your teacher is a FIRST mentor Im going to assume she is very dedicated, and understands the purpose and goals of the program. You need to find the reasons behind the changes, then you can address possible alternatives or workarounds.

Simply getting a lot of people to tell her they dont like it, or its not fair, is not addressing the root cause of the issue.

From the conversations that took place last year, the only reason i can rember is a mix between making the team more streamlined, and the fact that we use alot of the tech centers equipment, and resources.

We have our first meeting tommorow. Hopefully all goes well.
