 |
|
| My first-year middle school students are divided into an A and B class for English and mathematics (based on the combined average of last term's finals) and it seems like the students in the A class are on average noticeably larger than in the B class. I guess there is a correlation between physical and intellectual development but in their cases it seems more pronounced. As anyone else who teaches year one MS students who are divided by abilities noticed this? |

Perhaps their brain also "matured" faster much like their bodies....makes sense.... |

That's what I was thinking. Of course it's not always true - I've had a few very good 12-13-year-old students who looked to be late developers, but there's definitely some degree of relation. It may also be that if they're more mentally mature they can concentrate better in a system geared mostly towards auditory learners. |
