[quote=Anonymous]I was your daughter in grade school, and I would come home in tears convinced that my teacher hated me because I was always being put next to the kids who were misbehaving. I think it's fair to ask a kid to pair with the "bad kid" (quotation marks to indicate that I'm not a fan of the term) sometimes, and that it could be a good learning experience for the "good kid," but (1) it should not be all the time, and (2) she should not be held responsible for that kid's behavior--no prizes based on group performance, no grades based on group projects, etc. She's a kid, and it's not fair to evaluate her school performance based on her ability to get another kid to behave. And, if pairing with the other kid is adversely affecting her (he ruins her work, bullies her, etc.) then it needs to stop. No one kid should be asked to bear that all the time. [/quote]
