IELTS ESSAYS AND LETTERS / 33
Some people think that children of different abilities should be educated
together. Other people think that it is better to teach the intelligent
children separately and with special treatment. What do you think?
Intelligence test orientations to identify giftedness suggest that talented
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 they are 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 below average. It doesn't serve the needs of children
with intellectual deficits to pretend that they are geniuses, and it doesn't
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 don't have special teaching for the intelligent children, the gifted
student will not have anyone at his or 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 problems 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.
The fact is that intellectually gifted children are different from other
students. When we refund programs for gifted and talented students, we
should invest in the children that have the greatest potential to improve the
lives of the next generation.
