With a mentoring program there will only be more people asking the same question.
Imagine, for example, a new category in the forum, and each thread is titled: “{name of student} mentored by {name of volunteer mentor}” - How would anybody find anything useful in there at all, apart from the students?
“Ah, they should post as normal, but with an LD mentor to answer” you might say. Well, are you discouraging other people from answering? Are you saying that the mentors’ answers are implicitly better and that students should generally act upon or believe their answers over others’?
Are we starting a certification course? “Post bought to you by {person}, has been mentor to sixteen people”?
Only joking. I just thought it up.
El Gordo: How can I say this? Playing guitar is different. With lucid dreaming, all you need to do is follow the actions, think the thoughts (and then always some more), be confident and remain patient. That’s it. Right? Surely? Pretty much.
People can’t lucid dream together, or at least, I’ve seen few mentions of it in the forum. To experiment with shared dreaming is something different again - obviously you need a partner! (or two, etc…)
honeyjigga: No, there aren’t many “nearly perfect” dreamers around. Or maybe I’m just seeing my end.
Anyway. What stuff was your personal helper there for? I would list: Bullying, problems managing homework, getting lost, being shy/not finding friends, anything else?
Do these apply to a forum?
El Gordo again: “If this comes off to you as I don’t think your doing enough. THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM SAYING cheese . Sorry.”
At first, I read that without my punctuation adder on, and you seemed to be suggesting that I’m not doing enough. Consider making your posts clearer
EDIT: The quick reply box is kinda thin so I didn’t realise that I was alternating text lines with blank lines. Now a bit more readable
