It's very cool that instead of being embarrassed to see how they're doing compared to their classmates, the students collaborate. I was very surprised to hear this because instructional approaches that divide up students by learning ability, such as in your school, are largely criticized for putting the struggling students at a disadvantage. This is because superior students are typically given more challenging material, and consequently acquire more knowledge and influence in the classroom. On the other hand, students that don't perform as well tend to be less challenged and, as a result, don't improve significantly. It's very inspiring to hear that students can take the initiative to help one another. This is particularly good because students that excel in school reinforce their understanding of knowledge by explaining concepts to others, and students that struggle in school benefit considerably when given individual attention. I'm curious to know how struggling students improve throughout the school year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510370842453561449noreply@blogger.com
