As they know, everyone
53、has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn form each other and they may develop a friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with th
54、eir lessons, which benefits them all.However, others dont hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming the bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.In my opinion, I would like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each and make progress together.
