Comprehension of Education
educational grouping eliminates this scenario, because classes are taught at the comprehensive
level of the students. Educational grouping builds classes based of the needs of the students such
as their skill set and pace, so that their peers are learning at the same pace as they are. In addition
to that it keeps the students from falling behind and giving up on their classes because their peers
and teachers can help them one on one so that they can stay on task. Grouping in schools is thee
most effective way to portray education because the curriculum students receive affects their
students is positive the attitudes of the children will change positively (Connolly ethal 1). The
creation of a positive learning environment will lift the attitudes of the students and it will make
the class more efficient. The students will enjoy the class causing them to apply greater effort
making the class achievement rate higher. Also, when students are grouped with peers who learn
at their curriculum level it boosts their confidence because none of the students around them feel
superior to one another. The students also are there to help one another making students feel
more comfortable with their peers because there are positive bonds between them. This also
affects the teaching staff and administration because they feel they are not doing their job to the
full potential because they cannot help their students to succeed or even convince them to put in

effort in their courses (Anderson 288) 2. The teachers are more comfortable teaching students of
the same skill set because that is the way they are trained so when put in the situation of all
mindsets they feel as if they have failed because they can't meet all needs of the students and it
On the other hand, some would argue that teaching like-minded students is a more
difficult style of teaching, but students need to be surrounded by those who learn like
themselves. Robert H. Anderson states that students need taught like they think (288). Broad
spectrum classes must cover a wider variety of curriculum making teaching extremely difficult
because they are required to create lessons and work that fits the needs of all skill levels present
in the classroom. Whereas if all students present in a room learn at the same pace and
comprehension level the teacher can provide all students with the same units and or lessons. This
is also difficult because teaching staff have little to no training on mixed education teaching
(Anderson, 288). This helps to show that once the students have fallen off track and start to pile
up on lessons the teachers don’t know how to redirect them and get them caught up to where
Just as they say students in lower leveled curriculum classes receive fewer resources.
Many gifted programs offered to students of the required skill set cost money but not all children
can afford the cost. Therefore, the schools help with financial aid allowing all students to receive
equal opportunities in succeeding within their requirements. Often there are students who are
refused the approval of these classes, the refusal is done within the interest of the students. This
is done for the safety of the student so that they do not fall behind in their classes and give up on

their education. In addition to that all classrooms are equipped with the same necessities and
what's not located in each room is available to the students elsewhere in the building. All
students have assigned teaching staff to help them, when they feel they cannot find the resources
Lastly the pace at which students learn is the pace in which the class is taught. The work
that is received by the students is fit to their educational needs so that they can excel in subjects
and skill levels based of what is achievable to them (“To Separate"). Students who think alike
need placed together so they can push on another to do better and, also assist one another on the
development of new skills and the bettering of previous skills. Also, students who learn at a
higher curricular level are held back in slower placed classrooms because their needs are not
being met by the lessons provided to them. Higher education students fly through the assigned
work and end up wasting class time doing busy work to allow other students to catch up. Which
affects the higher education students' rate of succession. Students of lower skill levels are also
held back in high level classes because they cannot learn the provided material because its way
above their level of comprehension and many of them fall behind and end up having to take
remedial courses to get back on track slowing their success rate down. Higher level classrooms
go above needed curriculum which means the students placed in this environment need to be
able to with stand the movement of the work on an educational view. Therefore, when students
are placed by their pace of learning it eliminates a factor that could have hindered thier success.
because the classes are paced off the needs of the students, and it helps to maintain a healthy self
confidence level within the students, but some still argue that the students in lower educational
settings don’t receive the correct resources and that teaching students who are grouped is a much
more difficult task. Grouping benefits students in more ways than one. Students have a more
positive attitude because the students around them think and learn the way they do providing
them with more friendly environment. The staff present in each environment are also trained
within thier level of education. Staff are less stressed because they are only providing one lesson
for each class compared to mixed teaching where multiple assignments are needed, and teachers
are trying to present information to thier students in multiple ways so they can cover all learning
styles. Students also receive the proper resources needed for the purpose of their education.
Many students also feel more confident because they are excelling alongside the other students in
their classroom. This is also an affect felt by the students because the environment is less tense,
and the student interact with one another in a more positive way because there is no one who is
above one another within the classroom so the students build positive relationship's and strong
bonds between one another. The students shape the environment by an environment, and then the
