My husband and I got to talking last night about sports, school, outdoor activities, and all the other things kids enjoy. We ended up wondering is it better to put a group of kids together who excel greatly in an activity [let’s say baseball] or is it better integrate?
Another example is; school. Is it better for kids who are better in the subject to sit at the same table so they can push each other to excel or spread themselves amongst the classroom to help others?
The thing is there are ups and downs to both situations. If they are with other students who have the same strong points [sports or science--whatever it is…] they really push them each other and feel challenged. At the same time, if they were to be with the other peers whose weakness was their strength they could teach the other kids and help out but not feel challenged. What do you feel is best for kids--to be integrated among others with weakness or be with peers who have the same strong point? Thanks!
