    For what it's worth, that used to be a very common model of teaching, especially in early school (and it still is pretty common at university level, with TAs). It would be common for fourth-graders to teach first graders, as I understand it, especially in rural schools where there were very few teachers available. I think there are problems with he system though, as you can't rely on the teaching capacities of an 11 year old child, even if they are quite gifted in that particular subject matter. I think doing group work with a mix of older and younger children would help a lot though, but it is still probably best if the concepts are first introduced by an adult who has at least some pedagocical training.
