The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

Or even better, lets just tell ppl that they can become university teachers if they just survive and be nice to everyone. no advance knowledge needed.

I'd say it's more like elementary school teachers (teaching broad basics to people brand new, not specifics to people who have previous education). Though to become an elementary school teacher, all you need to do is attend University for 8 years. There is no requirement that you learn anything, complete any homework or do any tests. Just be there for a really long time - because if you are there for a long time, then you must be qualified to teach youngsters.

and then you fall on the statement someone said earlier on this topic: "Low to average skilled ppl teaching others how to achieve low to average skill levels".
