The children will experience much less frustration by not having to constantly work in groups with other children who do not learn as easily or quickly, do not share their enthusiasm and love of learning, have uncooperative attitudes and do not willingly do their share of group work. Children will work and learn for internal self satisfaction more than for external reward. Children will not be as tempted to take the easy way out by doing just enough to satisfy their teacher. They will be the judge of the quality of their work. Children will be more willing to take risks and be creative since they do not have to worry about being embarrassed in front of peers or being criticized by their teacher.
Children can concentrate without constant distractions.
Peer pressure will be reduced. There will be less pressure to grow up as quickly in terms of clothing styles, music, language, interest in opposite sex, etc. Social interactions with others will be by choice and based on having common interests. Field trips can be taken on a much more frequent basis and can be more productive when not taken with such large school groups. For example, on a trip to a nature center, the children can choose to spend several hours identifying birds or plants.
