Respecting Each Child as an Individual of Equal Worth
“Mixed ability teaching takes place when a teacher tries to regulate his treatment of individual differences by the principle of equality. (Elliott, 1976, p. 4)”(17)
A disadvantage of mixed ability grouping is that teachers are unable to effectively meet the needs of each student. However, mixed ability grouping requires appropriate ‘coordination’ by teachers. This is because this educational method aims to provide equality of opportunity to all students.
Consideration of Equality of Opportunity
All humans have human rights, both innate and acquired. An equal society does not end only with metaphysical discussions. Charles Darwin wrote to colonial administrators and missionaries around the world asking whether native peoples of Africa and other regions blushed with shame, initiating the first systematic study of their cultures. The results of this anthropological study led those to assume that the shame response, which is an aspect of our conscientious moral sense, has a clear innate basis. This means that human moral conscience must have evolved, in a biological sense. Specifically, it means that in order to improve one's social and survival mode, one must create an equal society.(2012. 14-5)

Today's society suffers from ethnocentrism. If the goal of all studies is to provide freedom to individuals, then individuals other than myself can be demanded the same value. Equality, which means equal value, equality of opportunity, and freedom for all, also means liberation from ecúmeno. Interculturalism may be closely related to prehistory.
