Mentor Involvement

[EricH]

Whew... Please, before you go any further, search for threads about mentors and students. This has been extensively...um..."discussed"... or...shall we say..."debated"... over the years.

The answer is: How much do YOU say is too much? Some folks say it's all right to have 100% mentors and 0% students. (Note: in this situation, I call the mentors "overgrown children", but that's beside the point.) Others say it's just fine to have 0% mentors and 100% students. Others like a 50-50 balance, or some other area in the middle. Bottom line is, it's your team's call, and if another team wants to call you, say, "cheaters", for having a high amount of adult work, you don't have to listen.
