Bad mentors can use you and keep you down for their own gain. But eventually, it will backfire.

I think it will help mentors to facilitate insights about what they do and how can they do it better. So nice to listen to professor Skc in his own trademark style of doing it.😍

Excellent talk. My experience of you as a mentor over the last 25 years has been great. The humor remains and is enjoyable, more so when there is a tinge of gentle sarcasm!!!!

It looks like more of negative to mentors. I believe it is a two way process. Even if there is something called unmentor under the umbrella of an institution where they are accountable for progress of a child, how do they unmentor. I am surprised that a professor of your repute is talking this. Probably the quality of students need a consideration. The education is degrading as it is more commercialized. Very few students work, the institutions usually charge high. As an example students demand marks without attending classes. Taking of PhD, it is absolutely diluted. How do you define a mentee and mentor. Plus I belive you should do more of research on talking negative to a most respectable section of society. It is very sad to hear something like this from a senior professor. Ted x is a plaform where people put the facts and not one sided opinion. I don't know how far your students have reached in their life. 👍

Thank you for your comments; really appreciate that you shared your viewpoint. Mentors are mentors, some use positive methods or reinforcements and some use negative reinforcements [behavioural principles], some use both. Everything has a teaching effect! As mentioned in the talk, even I used negative methods at times, but the goal was to have a positive growth. I agree with your views on current education system and negative mentoring is unacceptable.
