Suggestion for pairing students
In the tips section for pairing students, it was suggested that you pair your higher students with your lower students. This can be very frustrating for both students. Instead, your High can be with either the High Medium or your Low Medium. There can be some gap between students, but shouldn't be the highest gap. When you have a high ability or gifted student, they will frequently do all the work and your struggling student can opt out. It also isn't fair to your high student that they always have to teach the lowest kid in the group and can lead to conflict or unwillingness to work together.
