If the build season were to be extended, I would have to scale back my involvement significantly. I think that is true of most mentors on the team. I am certain that a longer build season would make teachers more wary of participating. I believe the team -- and the students -- would suffer because of it.

This is where I disagree. If someone came to me at work and said, "We have a project for you, and you have two options of how you want to do it. You can do it in 6 weeks, or you can do it in 12 weeks." What would I choose? Let's see, the first option would cause me to work nights and weekends and alienate my family, and the 2nd option would allow me to go home at night and have my weekends off. It seems like the 12 week option would lead to a lot fewer issues with the personal life.
