[quote=Anonymous]It is not the job of someone's elementary kid to serve as a teacher's assistant in the classroom.  It is their job to be a student and to learn and it is the school's job to teach them.

Elementary school is not about students collaborating to produce group results or to meet some work quota. It is about the school sharing knowledge with students and pushing them to learn to tue best of their abilities. It is not about elementary kids supervising their classmates, carrying their classmates work load so a deadline is met or a project stays under budget, or managing team dynamics so they get the next promotion.

Students who are far above their classmates academically benefit far more from being in a class where the curriculum is at or above their level than in one where they have already mastered the curriculum and they are expected to serve as tutors for their classmates instead of being challenged themselves.

Having had a kid spend a year being used as a teacher's aide in early elememtary in another state, this incorrect opinion of your's is a hot button issue for me.

What you are stating is simply horseshit at the elementary level.[/quote]
