Some people believe that schools should put children of different ages together in the same class. What is your opinion about this?
Many people consider putting
students
of different ages in one
class to be a great idea. While I accept that this
practice can cause some minor problems, I believe that these classes benefit students
more.
On the one
hand, older children
can learn complex subjects and concepts more
quicker and easier compared to junior Change the word
apply
students
. Consider a situation where mixed-age students
attend one
class together. It is obvious that in mathematics, for example
, the older group can solve a problem sooner. This
might be because younger children
are not cognitively and mentally prepared for learning these complicated concepts. In addition
, if a ten-year-old can solve a mathematical problem in only 10 minutes, for sure, it will take twice or three times as much for the younger students
and this
will result in anarchy in the class which can affect the performance of both the teacher and students
.
On the other hand
, I believe that mixed-age classrooms provide more opportunities for both teachers and students
. In these classes, teachers modify instruction for each student, rather than setting the instruction pace for the whole group. This
is quite different from traditional education in which, for example
, every child might turn to one
page of the book and, wait until every other child understands it thoroughly. In fact, this
approach allows students
to advance without becoming bored. Furthermore
, in mixed-age classrooms, children
are more likely to cooperate than compete. This
spirit of cooperation and caring makes it possible for children
to see each other as individuals rather than rivals.
In conclusion, while these mixed classes can lead to chaos in the classroom, they benefit students
in that cooperation is fostered and students
can study at their own pace.Submitted by BEHNAM on
