I’m not sure what you mean or you are just misunderstanding my post.
Of course the schools club robotics team is important.
A “club or travel team” is made up of students from outside schools. Like aau or special regional lacrosse and soccer teams. They are not bringing home ribbons to the school. They are separate outside activities. That’s what she was missing school to be part of as it is alleged.
My example was a group of kids from many different schools create their own robotics team to compete somewhere. Great ec. But you don’t get to miss calc to build a new machine or head to some random tournament without consequences. It’s an absence like any other. And repeated absences have consequences.
