22、months older 20 We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched.

23、erent rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

27、 and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal. 21 In the passage the authors a
