Student 1: "I get why teachers do that [grouping a strong student with a weaker one], but I don't like it."
Me [trying to keep positive]: "You could just view it as a compliment. Like the teacher has confidence in you."
Student 1: "Yeah, I guess. You know Student 2?"
Me [trying not to roll my eyes]: "Yes."
Student 1: "[Teacher name] paired me with him for almost the entire year even when I told them that Student 2 wasn't doing any work."
Me: "I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Student 1: "It's why I ended up hating [teacher name] and Student 2 for almost the whole year." (4/8/22)
