Re: Mentors VS Students

Why does it have to be 'mentor vs student'?

The other day we had this situation arise. I had my opinion. Another mentor had his opinion. We called one of the student leaders over to 'settle it' (since we were all pushing student designed student built). We both stated our cases. Poor kid looked like a deer in the headlights and finally said "But no matter what I saw one of you is going to be mad at me!".

Funny thing was, both the other mentor and I answered at the same time "No we aren't". We didn't care- and we explained that if he chose idea 1, we'd go with that for now and build a backup of idea 2, and vice-versa.

The second problem ... we'll save that for another post.
