I would. I think it would be a good idea.

I'd be more in favor of that than see them have to cut teachers.

Hiram does that already. It definitely saves them a ton of money.

Yes. My kids go to Mountain Valley [high school] in Mexico, and they do that. A lot of the older kids help out the younger kids. It works out. There has to be some sort of monitoring to get it started and set the tone.

I have two kids that will be starting kindergarten in three to four years. I'd rather not. The little ones get lost in the bus as it is.

I don't think it would be a good idea really. There's too much hazing from the big kids to the little kids. That's human nature.

I don't think so. I think smaller children should be with smaller children. They maybe get aggravated otherwise.
