Some people believe that children learn better when they are placed in classes with children of similar academic abilities. Others believe that children learn better when they are in classes with children representing a diverse range of academic abilities. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people think that
students
study better when they are arranged in homogenous groups by academic ability, but others think children should learn with mixed-ability academic
students
to improve their scores.
While
studying at different capacity levels, they can support each other. I think someone in

. So, it's better if they learn with people at the same academic level. On the one hand,
Students
are randomly assigned to classrooms within schools that provide a better environment for children's all-round development.
Therefore
, children with different abilities study together, and in turn, they can learn from one another.
For example

For instance

discussion than a
group

achievers
would be given; high
achievers
might be asked to apply their skills to solving higher-level thinking problems too. So, I believe that it is better when they are at the same level of academic ability. In conclusion,
Although
learning with diverse academic levels can allow
students
to support each other, it can decrease the proficiency of high
achievers
, and sometimes the lower
achievers
are ignored since they have a slower understanding.
That is
why it is better if
students
study with similar skill level groups.
