Just as an aside, in my experience, the "every child can succeed" peer-tutoring crowd is, and always has been, opposed to NCLB, because they think standardized testing doesn't show the child's true abilities and it stifles creativity. In fact, they don't like accountability at all.

Fair enough. Maybe it's not the "NCLB proponents". All I know is that mainstream educational theory classes teach that it's a usable strategy.

No matter who it is pushing for it, it's still not the job of the kids to be teaching their peers.

I agree on both counts.
