I would like to hear more mentor's opinions experience with this. I have had the same problem for years.
We spend Tues, Wed, Friday 6-9 and Saturday 9-1 plus the Sunday 9-2 after kickoff. Generally as the lead mentor/coach I get done about an hour after the kids leave. I am here EVERY day. This gives me just enough time to do planning and correcting during build season (I teach). I've long ago given up trying to correct and robot at the same time. I always seem to be trying and failing to achieve the work, robot, home balance. How do you other mentors do it?
Many of our students are in AP classes and can't commit to more time than this. We also have students in winter activities and sports. How do your students do it? Would love to hear more.
