I put my green apprentice to work mounting boxes and I turned away with the drawings to mark more outlet locations. I stepped back from a wall and bumped into him. He was standing right behind me, watching. He explained that he wanted to learn my job, and didn't see how mounting boxes would do that.

How do you guys balance teaching co-workers with getting the job done? Do I actually have to mount boxes when my apprentice mounts boxes, or should we be mounting the same box?
