The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

once more, requirements a good mentor does not make, it just means you have reached a point nothing else. Associating a good mentor to requirements is just wrong. There are lots of people that dont meet erquirements that are far better Mentors then someone that has a zillion comm and still doesnt have a clue (believe me it exists). Please STOP making an amalgame between hving the requirements to be a Mentor and being actually CAPABLE of mentoring.

Never i said meeting requirements makes you automatically a good mentor. I just implied hopefully most of them know enough. so PLEASE START reading posts all the way to the end!

Now you're just wishing. She only sees exactly what she wants in posts. I think everyone has said they know it is not a 100% perfect system for getting great mentors, but that it is a measureable method for at least upping the odds, yet she has ranted the same point at all of them.

Every single aspect of life has to have a way to be quantified. The Mentoring system is no different. Graduating college doesn't necessarily mean you'll make a good astrophysicist. Dropping out of high school doesn't necessarily mean you aren't mentally intelligent enough to be a heart surgeon. But there are things called "standards" that us adults have to abide by. Standards are quantifiable aspects of life...they are numbers we are expected to achieve in order to gauge our aptitude in the eyes of our superiors. It's just life, and you have to accept it for what it is. You may be the biggest braniac in the world, but if you couldn't get yourself through high school and college, the people would have every right to question your resolve.
