This is a really good idea: for workshops.

I don't know about day-to-day or in a classroom setting though. Whenever I did pair programming in college, one of the partners would often be overpowering in terms of skills and intelligence, and would spend most of the time getting the other up to pace. Which is great, except the laggards would often pretend to understand in fear of being looked upon as stupid.

As someone who's been on both side of the dynamics, yeahh, not sure about classroom settings. I would love to attend your workshops though!
