Remember also that padawans are being assigned to new masters, which is an ad-hoc and uncomfortable new situation. I encourage you guys to get creative about it, since it's a bit of a random assignment rather than a choice thing -- the padawans get handed off to the first knight that can be found to take them, end of story, per orders from the likes of Revan. No unsupervised padawans running around the warzone. On the other hand, this means a bunch of knights, not necessarily the Jedi Council's first pick as mentors, get a crash course in teaching.
