Going with this theory that students develop and achieve differently according to their biological development, Salisbury High school took the imitative of grouping these students into a ‘link’ class that would cater to their needs. During adolescents teens develop greater mental processing capacity and intellect. Their way of thinking, problem solving and perception are better. According to Piaget’s explanation of cognitive development, children were born with simple capabilities, and they ‘construct’ knowledge though active interaction with the environment (Swanson,Edwards,& Spencer,2010, pg 64). It is through this active interaction with the environment, the child develops and accumulates concept and ideas that will enable the child to make meaning of their experience. As a result Piaget came up with cognitive stages, what he called ‘developmental milestones’ which are accomplishments that a child has to attain for each stage (Krause, 2013, p. 58). The year 8 students would be classified as ‘formal operations’ according to Piaget’s cognitive
