@countercurrentz@DrLauraReames@teachthemx3 Fascinating! I realize it’s advanced math already, but I’d consider offering an extension option. Could be interesting to see what they choose. I know remediation (w others) means more work for teachers, but I like to see how high “ahead” students can fly.
@countercurrentz@DrLauraReames@teachthemx3 I’d say it depends on how often you’re using this strategy, but as a student who was in the “tutor” position without extension, I feel cheated. This role also tends to fall on female students, so I would encourage you to think about it more.
@countercurrentz@teachthemx3 Pausing learning for high-achieving students leaves their potential unrealized and creates missed opportunities for growth. Asking them to tutor classmates could also create resentment. It is unpaid labor, unless you plan to compensate them at the going rate for tutoring.
