:I've also found that when the seconds (which are always weak)
sit across from the violins rather than next to them
it helps with them becoming more independant. Did
you ever find that to be true?
Yes, I did. I always tried to have really strong section leaders for both sections. Actually, now that I think about it, in my 7th grade classes I would have all the violinists trade off playing 1st and 2nd, so they would get the experience doing both. I didn't do that in high school classes though because the 1st violin parts were so difficult.
