I think this is why collaborative learning has merit.  I think we sometimes
   forget the difficulties that we did have.  When I was in school I spent a
lot of time working with my fellow students trying to figure things out.
The students I have leave school after class to work at part time jobs and
rarely  get the chance to work together.
