Question
Discuss within your group in what way is the story of the Fox’s school applicable to your classroom. How can the issue of inclusion of students with different abilities be addressed in the best possible way ?
Solution
The story of the Fox's school is fully applicable to the classroom. If the students have a liking for a particular
subject, they will learn it in the best manner. For instance, a student likes to study sports as he excels in it. He will do best in it if he is given sports as the main subject But if he is forced to learn or study Sanskrit, he will miserably fail.
In such a backdrop, students must be identified as per their liking and inherent traits. Then they should be
sent to those classes or subjects which cater to their talent and t raits. Thus the issue of inclusion of students with different abilities can be addressed in this way
Additionally, students identified with different abilities can be groomed by specialised courses. These should be relating to their inherent abilities and talents from the beginning. For instance, a student showing a potential for cricket can be sent to a cricket school to brighten in cricket Going this way would bring in great results.
