Re: selecting tutors

[Muriel Harris <harrism@omni.cc.purdue.edu>]

Sure, child labor laws might eventually apply if/when this 15-year old
would be hired after taking the class (and if she were then chosen to
join the staff). The suspicion of one of the tutors at the interview
is that the girl asked this question to make sure that we knew she was
a 15-year old genius. But as we've been discussing this all day (and
your comments have all been really useful..and entered into our
discussions), two of the tutors agreed that this girl could learn to
interact with her peers in the class and that might be a major help to
her own growth. So, of course, that leads to the question of
prioritizing our choices on who might be a better tutor or on who
might learn more from the class...oy...oy....what a day of heavy
conversation.

Keep talking, friends, you're really helping us a lot!!!!!
