When it comes to "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", we must start with Confucius. Confucius was a great thinker, politician, educator and founder of Confucianism in ancient China. Confucius made three great contributions to education: first, he founded private schools to benefit the people and put forward "education without class"; The second is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so that each student can be fully developed; The third is to advocate heuristic teaching and follow suit.

Confucius' teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is a humanistic educational thought. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the inevitable requirement of Confucius' educational thought of "teaching without distinction". Because there is no class, we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude. It is also teaching students in accordance with their aptitude that really ensures the effective implementation of "teaching without distinction" and fully embodies Confucius' thought of "benevolent people love others".

The key to studying students' teaching. Teachers should tailor their students first, and then teach them in accordance with their aptitude, in order to teach them many skills.

For "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", many educators have raised the question: Is there a contradiction between teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and classroom education fairness? In my opinion, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and fair education are not contradictory, but complementary. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is not only the crystallization of ancient Chinese teaching experience, but also an important principle that modern teaching must adhere to, which has very rich modern value. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is of great practical significance for cultivating innovative talents to meet the needs of the times. (This argument quotes the abstract of Liuli's On Teaching Students in Accordance with Their aptitude and Fairness in Classroom Education. )

The idea of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude has far-reaching influence, so that today, teachers still need to design teaching methods flexibly according to their own experience and wisdom. Now, based on the concept of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", we have developed the educational concepts of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and "teaching students according to their age". These thoughts are of great significance to teachers, schools, parents, society and educational development.
