Scaffolding is not solely support or help and a support can be designated as scaffolding only when the support is adapted to changing ability and this support is temporary. Because the term scaffolding is accessible, there have been many uses of this construct that are atheoretical, and therefore cloud the way the tool is used and applied in a classroom.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Palincsar | first=Annemarie Sullivan | title=Keeping the Metaphor of Scaffolding Fresh—A Response to C.

At the heart of the creation of the scaffolding extension to distributed scaffolding, was the need to address the many different ways a scaffold could be provided. Scaffolding need not be limited solely to a teacher student or parent-student situation;{{sfn|Stone|1998}} in fact scaffolding can be extended to include peers.{{sfn|Rogoff|1990}}{{sfn|Stone|1998}}
