[nabs-l] Opinions on a TVI Issue

[Kirt]

I agree with the majority here. As long as you're getting the help you need what's the problem? Thinking back to my junior high and high school math classes there were plenty of times when I was just working on my own problems and didn't really need my TVI to do anything for a few minutes. I was perfectly fine with her helping other students during that time, To keep herself occupied if nothing else. There were times I relied on her and she was great about being there when I needed it… that with her job and she did it. Beyond that, it didn't really matter to me how she chose to spend the time when I didn't need her… That's none of my business.
