Some people believe that schools should put children of different ages together in the same class. What is your opinion about this?
It is argued by some people that schools ought to incorporate youngsters of varying ages into the same classes in school rather than separating them into age cohorts. While there are a few benefits to
such
a scheme, I believe it would be detrimental overall because of the vast difference in ability and maturity between young Linking Words
children
and old. Use synonyms
This
essay explores the various reasons why I believe mixed-age classrooms would be detrimental.

with, the mental capacities of school Linking Words
students
differ greatly depending upon their age. Use synonyms
For example
, a child of 5 years old can barely read, write or count: they are still learning the basics. Linking Words

makes it very difficult for a teacher to plan lessons that will both stimulate the older Linking Words

would result in the younger Linking Words
