You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Some people think that children of different abilities should be educated together. Other people think that its better to teach the intelligent children separately and with special treatment. What do you think? You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas of knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. Intelligence test orientations to identify giftedness suggest that gifted learners are those who answer quickly a number of types of complex questions. Speeding these children through the education system as quickly as possible might meet their needs. Gifted children think differently from non-gifted children, if theyre educated separately and are provided with a qualitatively different curriculum, they will develop much better in their growing process. Every child is able to learn something, but some children are able to learn much more than other children. Not every child is truly gifted. Most are average, and many are be low average. It doesnt serve the needs of children with intellectual deficits to pretend that they are geniuses, and it doesnt serve the needs of truly gifted children to pretend that they are just like their classmates. They know better, and need to learn more. If we dont have special teaching for the intelligent kids, the gifted student had no one at her intellectual level to interact with. If all children are grouped together regardless of intellectual ability, teachers will be forced to teach to the students of lowest ability while the rest of the class waits for them to catch up. In such an environment, the problem seem to be arising when the children are moving too slowly through the school system and are not getting stimulated enough, thus resulting in them becoming bored, losing faith in the education system and rebelling in many ways. Some are leaving early due to work being too easy and some are seeking attention through being class clown through boredom |
