I think that every teacher needs to have a Link Crew member. Every year there are new teachers that come to Pine Ridge. They are new at learning the rules and the expecations here. When the new teachers get new freshman they won't be able to let them know things that are going on because they are new. With a linkcrew student in each class it will help the new teachers get on board.
Another reason that a teacher might need a linkcrew leader would be that one or more students need help in the subject area. A teacher might not be able to handle the needs of that one or more student that needs help. With a linkcrew student they can take them aside and help them individually. That would also help because in some situations the student might listen to the teacher. With Linkcrew leaders students might listen to them and relate better.
The last reason is that sometimes teachers can't handle their kids and Link Crew students can help with limiting the behavior problems. If their isn't any work for a link crew leader to do then it might be helpful to walk around and try and keep kids quiet and on task. Having leaders in a teachers classroom might lower the behavior problems and keep the students' grades up.
