观点侧重支持“teaching children separately”
Today, it is quite common for many schools to practice an "elite students" policy that the intelligent students are selected
and given special treatment. Generally, I think that this practice has more benefits on several different levels.

The most obvious advantage lies in the fact that it allows teachers to employ different pedagogic strategies suited to the
particular group of students. For example, for the more intelligent students who are more likely to have a quicker mind and
stronger thirst for knowledge, teachers or tutors can include something more difficult or complex in their syllabus, catering
for the special needs. On the other hand, for some other students who are not that intelligent and may be slow at
acquiring new knowledge or skills, a correspondingly suitable teaching strategy then is highly desirable. In this case, the
separate teaching scheme is generally good for both groups of students, since teachers can thereafter design different
courses and teaching methods catering for all of them.

Of course, those who are in support of integration teaching may argue that separating one from another is a violation of
individual rights and 并列宾从 that everyone should be treated equally regardless of their intelligence. I think that the
notion of equality is not the issue here. The less intelligent students can be allowed to choose some advanced courses
originally designed for those fast learners, and vice versa.

Overall, I believe that nurturing students separately according to their abilities can lead to many desirable results. However,
the authorities should consider students' own preference as to being in or out of one particular group so that the benefits
of this system can be maximized.

观点侧重支持“teaching children together”
Endowed with different talents, every individual contributes to our society in different ways, so to treat every student
equally is a common practice in most schools today. However, many schools are now entertaining the idea that intelligent
students should be taught separately and given special treatment so as to nurture more "elite students". Generally, I
believe that schools should continue with their traditional strategy.

It is true that teaching intelligent students together might improve their study efficiency to some extent, for being in a
competitive learning environment their potential abilities in academic studies could be developed as much as possible. But
schools and parents should also realize that it is quite dangerous to oversimplify the situation here.

The top priority of education at any level should be the development of one's personality and morality. But what makes it a
mockery is that a separate teaching scheme usually focuses on the academic studies of students exclusively, so children are
evaluated only by their performance on examinations. Consequently, instead of making them outstanding, those selected
children are deprived of a normal but essential part of growing up. What is worse, those who are rejected from studying
with the gifted students could easily suffer psychological pressure from their parents or themselves for not being "good"
enough.

Schools are needed because of their inborn features to provide students a relaxing and friendly environment for study.
Students talented in one way may need help or inspiration in other fields. So before making young minds ready for the
competitive world too early, allowing them to study and live in a cooperative way is essential for their growing up.

观点为中立，即批判看待“whether teaching children separately or together”
Some people claim that children of different abilities should be educated together, while others argue that it is a better
idea to teach them separately. This essay will examine both opinions.

Teaching children together regardless of their levels of intelligence has been the most common way of education in schools
for a long time. The reason for this practice is the idea that children should be given equal access to education, which is
based on the belief that every student has the potential to become an outstanding individual. Also, it is necessary to
realize that different children own distinct gifts which makes them talented in some areas but perhaps needing help or
inspiration in other fields. So being in a cooperative environment, students are more likely to learn from each other and
get to know how to get along well with others. Therefore, many of us believe that children benefit from the experience of
this diversity.

On the other hand, the separate teaching scheme allows teachers or tutors to employ different pedagogic strategies suited
to different groups of students. It is true that intelligent students are always those who tend to have a quicker mind and
stronger thirst for knowledge, so a relatively more complicated syllabus could be adopted to develop their potential in
academic studies as much as possible. Also, a correspondingly suitable teaching method could be used to help those less
intelligent students learn more efficiently. Thus, teaching children separately allows teachers to design different courses
catering to their special needs, which benefits all of them.

Overall, it is hard to choose between these two approaches for each of them has its unique way of helping students.
Schools and parents should think about their priorities in educating their children and minimizing the possible downsides
of the method they might choose.
