Graf needs Ender to think for himself and not rely on emotional or practical support from anyone. They need Ender to be able to lead these boys into war and not rely on anybody else for support.

Graff and the powers in charge have all their hopes on Ender. He has to stand a part from the others. Ender has to be emotionally and intellectually self sufficient if they are going to win their war. Ender needs to have the maturity of a seasoned adult commander . Isolating Ender forces him into these stressful situations to see how he handles them.
