Re: The Meaning of FIRST
I'm going to go back and address one of the OP's statements again. I know I commented on it before, but I think it's worth addressing again, in a slightly different context.
"So please mentors, let us do all the work" is the part I want to address this time.
First, having a case where a student does all the work may not always be practical. Just... trust me on this. I see it in a number of places and ways.
But second... Students, STEP UP! Show us you're ready to do as much of the work as we'll let you, and teach other students while you do it. Then, I would say that most if not all mentors will step back, and let the new mentors take over (and by new mentors, I do mean the students!). Push the mentors gently out of the way if needed.
