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.

People have different views about whether schools should group students by academic abilities. While in some ways it may seem reasonable to put students in the mixed ability classes, I believe that schools should separate students by skill level.

There are two main reasons why people might approve that pupils with different abilities to study together. First, the separation of high and low has a harmful effect on certain students. This low label may hurt their self-esteem and therefore demotivate them to show their achievement. Besides, children of mixed ability class are likely to grow up with respect. By cooperating with classmates who are inferior to themselves, talented students could learn to treat other peers with respect, regardless of ability, which prepares them to work successfully in teams with colleagues as adults.

In spite of the above arguments, I support the view that the activities and assignments should be tailored for different levels of students. If the school neglect the difference among pupils, it is likely that we would see trouble in the classroom. Whereas gifted students who grasp materials more quickly than the norm suffer from boredom, other students are still overwhelmed by the same terms. Having students finish assignments by such varying times can lead to mischief. In addition, the suitable lessons can both benefit teachers and students. It’s certainly easier for the teacher to teach a class where most of the students are on a similar level by virtue of how easily they absorb information. Students can also progress faster owing to the lessons that meet their needs.

In conclusion, it seems to me that it would be better, on balance, for schools to tailor their materials to answer the needs for different levels of students.
