Should smart kids get their own school ?

 I do not believe smart kids should have their own school because that just makes no sense; it would be like people are being discriminative towards other kids that are not as smart as others.



Cluster Grouping

Claims of Cluster Grouping would have to be that students would be learning much more advance school work and also that student would be in a classroom with other gifted student and may start to feel good about themselves.

A CounterClaim of Cluster Grouping would be that a lot of students feel pressured to not be able to even drop a grade because teachers would start to look at them different. Another CounterClaim of Cluster Grouping would be that students are expected to know more then others since they are more advanced in their school work.


Ability Grouping

Claims of Ability Grouping would be that student would be working with other student just like them so they won't feel dumb.

A CounterClaim of Ability Grouping would be that Students wouldn't have any students that understand more about the work because everyone is separated.


Overall Cluster and Ability Grouping is not the smarted way for teachers to make sure students get the education they deserve because students weather they are "smarter" then others  can still help those students who don't understand the classwork and help everyone get a better grade because now they understand more then they did before thanks to the gifted students. Separating student based on their IQ makes no sense when you can have them to help when their help is needed.

  1. A good analysis. How do you think this relates to mindset psychology? Watch your spelling. Whether, not weather.
