Re: Where was the GP at Championships?

It is unfortunate that these events are happening but what Dave said is probably the best advice. We are fighting a culture here that recognizes that throwing a fit/cursing will get you attention and often times, sadly, results. I would be extremely embarrassed if it was one of my students or another Purdue FIRST team member/mentor.

At Midwest regional they asked all the volunteers to watch a video on GP but I am beginning more and more to think that we should have set it up for the teams to watch as well.

FIRST is about leading instead of following and we need to make sure we lead our fellow mentors and students toward positive ideals.
