Agreed on the child versus adult thing - originally the studies were focussed on how masters teach apprentices - a minimum of 14 years old.
I don't see this being feasible for my DD - she is naturally helpful and kids were actively getting turned off her right after her skip because, at an age where age itself has implications for social standing in a school, they could not stomach a kid a year younger 'telling them all about it".
I just don't see this approach providing an optimal learning environment for my DD, at all.
