OTOH, I also think that it's important to add that it's not fair to *always* ask a child to help their classmates as a way of filling up the extra time that child has in class because they finished their work early and already understand it in place of giving the child more challenging work

I definitely agree with this. It's also not appropriate to have a child help out classmates if they're not socially or emotionally ready for it. Reasonable and appropriate is definitely the key. As with anything.
