Re:Send the Teachers to MIT (Score 1)

Well I agree that you having read that article you might have gotten that impression on how it was political and all. But Ill let you know that in truth the teachers did NOT I repeat NOT build the ROV the teacher are mentors and as any mentor they share ideas. I myself attend Carl Hayden and I find it hard to belive that people think that we are not capable of creating such a thing like the ROV. Just because our school is 92% hispanic and was considered a Under Performing school dosent mean that we arent capable of building a robot. This year beeing the 4th year that the robotics club has attended the FIRST competition http://www.usfirst.org/ and thats were we get our experience from not from letting our teachers build the teams robot and for the students to take fame in. As for the Job issue it ties in with the money our school dose have programming courses but 1 hour a day for the school year dosent allow you to learn and master Java or C++ plus you might say that they can studdy at home shure they can but on what not all the students have the abillity of buying a computer all the studying will be on paper dont get me wrong all programs have to be writen first on paper but what happens when they want to test it out and no computer to try it on students just loose interest
