Some people think that schools should select pupils according to their academic abilities, while others believe that it is better to have pupils with different abilities study together. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Introduction: Different schools have different approach. Both approaches have their own merits and demerits.

Paragraph 1: advantages of grouping students according to ability ( advantages of teaching separately)

-          It helps to maintain discipline

-          All students can work at the same pace. They are not forced to wait or rush. Teachers can work more intently on those who need more help. In this way the good students will not suffer and the weak students will also get more attention.

Paragraph 2: why students should be taught together.

-          Students learn from each other

-          Once students are grouped they generally stay at the same level.

Inferiority complex develops in the mind of weak students. There is labelling, both in the mind of the teacher and student.

Paragraph 3: In my opinion teaching all students together approach. If this approach causes disorder in the class room then it is better to study the cause of disruption. Sometimes overintelligent students cause indiscipline because they grasp things quickly and then disturb others. Teachers can keep them involved in some work. Some students may have medical problems like dyslexia or family problems. Teachers should diagnose the problem and find appropriate solution.

Conclusion: It is better to teach students together.
