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

children

and old.

This

essay explores the various reasons why I believe mixed-age classrooms would be detrimental.

To begin

with, the mental capacities of school

students

differ greatly depending upon their age.

For example

, a child of 5 years old can barely read, write or count: they are still learning the basics.

On the other hand

, an older child can read books, write stories and do mathematics.

This

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

children

's minds while simultaneously catering to the basic learning needs of the little ones.

This

would result in the younger

children

being confused and struggling to learn basics, while the older ones would be bored and frustrated with tasks designed for younger learners.

Secondly

, there is a vast difference in maturity levels amongst young

children

, leading to disparities in social skills.

For instance

, new entrants might still play with babies' toys, require naps, and have tantrums and other

such

lapses in self-control, while older

students

might play more advanced games. Because of

this

, older

students

often bully younger ones for being immature and not being able to keep up, and the younger

children

experience lower self-esteem

as a result

. So, in conclusion, mixed-age classrooms cause a lot of trouble both for teachers and

students

of all ages. So I think it is a terrible idea, and it is infinitely wiser to separate

students

into age cohorts for their own emotional and academic wellbeing.
