Male and Female High School Students Should be Educated in Separate Schools

Gender Separation in schools and colleges is good, as studies have proved that girls and boys learn in different slipways. According to a research by Dr. Leonardo Sax, the brain of girls and boys work differently, thus they must be taught in distinctive ways. Merely separating the girls and boys in classrooms may not be the right solution, yet when the teachers gear their teaching tactics specific to the gender, it really yield results. Studies also prove that both the gender learn in different environments(GreatSchools, 2014). Where the girls learn far better when the classroom temperature is warm. On contrary, the boys show better performance in cooler classrooms. Moreover, Single- six educational institutes can also provide a broader horizon

The authors of two articles aim to discuss about gender difference that exist between the boys and the girls in depth, of course, from their own perspectives. Similarly, Orenstein and Stabiner both explore the norms and beliefs that exist in classroom through subjects, like math. Stabiner indicated in her article, brain research has shown us that girls and boys develop and process information in different ways, and they do not even use the same region of the brain when they do their math homework (Stabiner 328). According to the observations of Orenstein, the performance in math class between Amy and other people is very distinct. Boys often lead and dominate classroom discussions. They raise their hands more often to answer questions than girls. However, though Amy is a bold and brassy when getting along with her peers, she performs quite nervous in the class. In

The programs that seperate the sexses in schools are usually based on very questionable science about the differences of girls’ and boys’ brains during development and learning, along with gender stereotypes. The American Civil Liberties Union’s article, ‘Sex-Segregated schools; Separate and Unequal’ says,” Advocates tell teachers that: Boys need a competitive and confrontational learning environment,

Gender stereotyping and gender preferences have been a problem in society for many years. Modern day society has only just emerged from the ideology and mind-set that males are the dominant gender. However, some of this still lingers within the educational system. Hatton (1998) states that boys have been the preference over girls in the classroom as boys are more lively and interesting. Teachers rely on the good behaviour of the girls, which makes them ‘less interesting’, so that the time can be spent with the boys (Hatton, 1998). Gender is the distinguishing biological aspects of a person that considers them to be a male or a female (Davies, 1998). However, in this modern society we live in, ‘gender’ cannot so easily be labelled this black and white. In Australian schools today, the schools experience transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) young people (Ullman, 2015). This is to say that there are some young people who do not conform to what society biologically says they are. A metaphorical theory that Ferfolja, Diaz and Ullman (2015) discuss called the ‘unseen half’ perfectly places this social unjust issue of gender inequality. This theory states that diversity, individual or communities, within the educational system often undervalued or found difficult to understand are rendered ‘invisible’ in day-to-day practices (Ferfolja, Diaz, & Ullman, 2015). As recent as 1979, women were

In today’s society, education has become a very important factor in a student 's life. Everyone tries to do and implement whatever is best for the student to learn and become successful. Therefore, as a result, society tries to separate schools based on gender. Schools should be separated by gender for many reasons. The first reason is that gender separation will help eliminate bullying. It has been demonstrated that boys, in general, tend to be more rude and violent than girls causing the boys to “bully” girls. Another reason they should be separated is to help break down stereotypes. An example of this is that girls are free of the pressure to compete with boys in male dominated subjects such as math and science. Another reason they should be separated is that it makes it easier on the teacher to use different learning techniques that are geared toward specific genders. It is a great idea to separate students by gender at schools if they want the students to have a better education. This will help prevent bullying at schools, help breakdown stereotypes, and encourage teachers to use different educational techniques.

She had the perception that all boys were unorganized and not neat. She complained to me, and I told her to give the boy a chance and to erase her false perception. In addition, the female student agreed and they were able to work together and create an excellent project. Moreover, as a Queen Elizabeth Secondary student, I have a seen a different view of the way both boys and girls interact in the classroom. In particular, from my own school experience, I have observed that girls and boys communicate well with each other. For instance, in my drama class, boys and girls are not afraid or hesitant to work together on creating plays and other group related projects. This observation has prompted me to believe that gender differences are for the most part non-existent at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School. From my school experiences and my peer tutoring observations, I can say that gender equality is existent at QE, however, different genders behave differently in the classroom, as boys are more engaged to learn than girls in math and science related

The purpose of this research is to study, analyze, and interpret the differences between single-sex schools and co-educational schools. This research paper will specifically highlight the differences of academic achievement, educational aspirations, discipline and control, development, motivation as well as the ability to focus and avoid distractions amongst students within single-sex schools and co-educational schools. According to many research studies, it is theorized that single-sex

When considering the different educational methods that each school provides for the students, parents will need to understand that every child learns differently. Each person can either learn by being a visual learner, auditory learner, or tactile learner. The different learning methods are not the only things that can effect learning. Learning can also be affected by the way that a teacher may present information, however a student’s attention may be pulled away by the distractions that can be caused by peer pressure, stress, and hormonal urges from the opposite sex. Single sex schools can eliminate these distractions that are caused by co-ed schools. In doing so, this can raise the academic success of both female and male students.

Before the 19th century, single-sex schooling was common. Why two centuries later we are trying to re-establish this tradition? Michael Gurian 's underlines the importance of single-sex learning and supports the creation and implementation of new strategies for accommodating the brain differences of boys and girls. In his book, he provides an abundant amount of examples that prooves beneficial effect of single-sex education. Among many other outcomes, Gurian mentions "less social anxiety", "classroom instruction that provides for more teaching and quality learning experiences", "stronger mentoring relationships", and "positive academic results"(18). Also, he touches upon a very important topic – he states that single class education eliminates certain destruction, such as boy-girl flirtation and sexual tension. In point of fact, during the school ages, people reach

              How do we truly learn when we’re under the pressures of our peers to conform to our gender based stereotypes? The pressures and issues caused by co-ed institutions are fundamental to our children’s outlook and development. With single sex schooling, children are better able to focus and become more involved with their education than those in Co-Ed. The problems associated with Co-Ed schools can be marked by student's inability to remain on top of coursework and the struggles faced by girls to break out of their shell and become more involved with their education. Reports will show the benefits of single sex schools and the implications of these results.

Can you think of a girl you know who loves sports? How about a boy who is conservative and isn’t rough and ready to “get their hands dirty”? Are single-gender schools going to help those students who don’t fit into the typical stereotype, learn in the best way possible? Or are they going to force them into a stereotype that isn’t who they want to see themselves as? In the 1990s, schools across the nation began researching on whether separating girls and boys were beneficial for their education. Some schools adopted this idea as their own and made it a reality, but others we against the idea altogether. Although children in non-separated schools can become easily distracted by the opposite gender, we should not separate girls and boys at school because there

Gender stereotyping is what someone thinks a man or women are supposed to be. Boys think that girls are supposed to be quiet and smart, and not play sports. This is what a boys stereotype of what a girl is supposed to be. Eventually girls will begin to agree and give up things that they love to do, or just not try something new, because it’s not “stereotypical.” This is what can happen in a co-ed environment. In a single-gender environment, students learn to love themselves, and learn to be who they are.That is why single gender schools, don’t promote as much gender stereotyping as co-ed schools do, and are a better learning environment for students.

Mabel walks into her classroom the first day of school. The room is void of boys. It is filled with hot pink shared desks and leopard print wallpaper. Mabel’s classrooms sounds marvelous. Comfortable and tailored learning, specific to each gender. Wonderful, right? Wrong. Classes separated according to gender encourage stereotypes for both sexes. The best approach to talk about gender separation in education is to separate the problem into the harm to girls, the harm to boys, and the harm to both. Ironic, right? Even so, this will help to exhibit what it means to separate learning according to gender as different gender points of view voice their argument.

Not only can gender separate schools change individual's perception of their own identity; they can also change the way one gender views another. In a segregated environment, even with good intentions, children infer the groups differ in important ways and develop biases. The study of Keener, Mehta and Strough (2013) examined the association between gender-segregated peer preferences and sexism to find out if there are negative consequences of gender segregation in schools . The researched proved, «sexism was related to gender-segregated peer preferences at school» , especially «that gender-segregated peer preferences are associated with sexism towards women during adolescence.» (Keener et al, 2013, p.827-828) . This finding proved that in gender-segregated environment students can not learn from each other, of their unique differences and, thus, are more prone to having stereotyped attitudes towards another gender . Single-sex schools cut off gender communication and confine students to one sex while interacting between each other is a part of human nature. Benjamin Carr (2016) wrote about another study concerning gender separation and its link to bias development. This research «assigned children to novel social groups based on t-shirt color in either segregated or integrated summer-school classrooms» and found out that children segregated by t-shirt color developed more in-group bias than those who were integrated (p. 561) . Segregation by the color of the t-shirt

In this paper I will argue that coed education is a better academic path for girls and boys. For many years there have been multiple studies done to try to conclude whether single sex or coed classrooms are better for the students. There has been proof that both do have their share of benefits for boys and girls but it is more evident that it makes no difference whether it is a single sex classroom or not. There must be other factors that go into the decision of whether or not the sexes should be separated. These include, school funding, socioeconomic status, the teachers, the students abilities, the list goes on (Buckingham, pg.1). Then with those components aside, it mainly comes down to opinions and studies of the different types of
