Question

What do you think of grouping students by ability in school
?

Answer 1

I think this can actually back-fire because when children see all the smart kids together and they aren’t included, it hurts them and makes them feel stupid.

Answer 2

In my opinion, it could create growth knowing they are all the same ability and may be able to help each other to an extent. But, on the other hand, keeping students with similar abilities doesn’t allow growth because they can’t learn anything to get better. That’s why you should always have a mix of ability levels because maybe one student could teach another student some helpful information.
