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.
Dividing pupils into
classes
by abilities
is a hot potato more often than not during the entire period of school
. I believe this
is an issue to be dealt with carefully in terms of students
’ emotions and education.
Efficiency is considered as the most important factor by people
who insist picking out students
according to their academic abilities
is necessary. If a school
doesn’t divide its students
by abilities
, talented ones must feel bored and have complaints about the progress of the course. It is also
inevitable that students
with low grades feel picky when they follow the school
lecture. Moreover
, the teachers will also
go through various sufferings to set the level of difficulty of class for students
if it’s not allowed to divide classes
according to their abilities
. In other words
, the teachers can focus on their followers easily and the students
would be able to enjoy the pleasure of studying efficiently in their classes
which are determined by their talents.
In contrast
, some people
are worried about making a division into several classes
by students
’ abilities
because of their emotional problems. It is hard to deny that teenagers are sensitive about their scores and also
what they look like to people
around them. If a school
decides to divide classes
into those who are talented and those who are not, the students
who are at a low level can be daunted and even affected by the ‘stigma effect’ which means people
who are in poor groups socially remain poorly if others define them badly. Plus, the students
can expect a ‘mentor-mentee’ system if the school
allows the students
with different abilities
to study together. In other words
, feeling cooperation and solidarity among the students
is as important as efficiency for people
who asserts the students
of various levels should be in one class.
In conclusion, I believe that it is better to decide whether to divide classes
by students
’ abilities
or not depending on the timing and the direction that the school
pursues at that time. Also
, it will be ideal if the students
’ opinions are reflected a lot when this
issue comes up.Submitted by shoep11 on
