Re: Mentors
To be fairly blunt, I think what you are doing is rude. I would try talking to them again. Get all the mentors in a room, along with a teacher that supports your side and ask them what they expect to get out of the experience, how they believe it should be run, etc.
Since they're volunteers, the idea of a contract is no more than a fancy promise. There's no penalty on a contract breach, do you want to sue a volunteer?
They are volunteering their time to help you. If I was putting hours and hours everyday into helping teach people and they suddenly presented me with a contract, I would be highly offended.
If it comes down to it and the mentors just will not change, you have to give them an ultimatum. This will have to be a very very last resort kinda thing.
Good luck with whatever you do,
Mike
