We find that bright children are seldomheld back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge andexperience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages instreaming(按能力分班)pupils. It does not consider the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have had effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. Afterall, it can be quite discouraging to be the bottom of the top grade.

Besides, it is rather unreal to gradepeople just according to their intellectual(智力) ability. This is only one aspect of their totalpersonality. We care much about the development of all the pupils’ abilities tothe full, not just their study ability. We also value personal qualities andsocial skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching does good to theseaspects of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the chance to learn to worktogether, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how todeal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions,to analyze(分析) andevaluate(评价) andto communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as fromthe teachers.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual(个人) tasks, and they can do this at their own speed. They also havesome formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to usethe library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this well.An advanced pupil can do advanced work and it does not matter what age thechild is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we givethem every encouragement to achieve this goal.
