Some people think that schools should select students according to their academic abilities, while others believe that it is better to have students with different abilities studying together. Discuss both views and state your own opinion

Some people contend that mixed

classes are more beneficial for children’s development than streaming them on the basis of judgement about their academic abilities.

However

, from my perspective, I disagree with

this

contention. Admittedly, mixed

ability

classes provide a better environment for children’s all-round development. In

such

classes, children with different abilities study together and in turn they can learn from one another.
