Every mentor has their own style and every team is different. I relate to my students on a personal level because I was one of them only 10 years ago. Sometimes that means saying things that aren't 100% politically correct. They know as crass as I can be sometimes that I'm doing it because I care about them and care about my team.
Exactly. As a student, I would be more motivated to spend time and working as a team, if everyone, including the mentor was close together on a personal level. If a mentor required that everyone was absolutely strict, and required that everything be done 100 percent correctly, people (especially teenagers) simply won't feel that they are part of a "family" and wont dedicate as much time into it.

And also, even I (a teenager) think that the teespring shirt is a bit too much. At least "bleet" the words out, so its not so rash. Remember, the people who buy this shirt will be wearing it around people who will have no idea the context or the purpose of the words.
