Pathos Single Sex Education

In the article Fight Proposed Ban on Single-sex Schools by Christina Hoff Sommers, activists feel that the idea of single sex education should be banned, because there isn’t substantial evidence that this type of environment has an impact on student grades. The activists claim it “increases gender stereotyping and legitimize institutional sexism” This idea is reinforce in the article Don’t Segregate Boys and Girls in Classrooms by Michael Kimmel. Furthermore it is also mentioned, that sex segregated educated is misinformed and going based on scientific claims oppose to scientific evidence.

It might sound a little crazy but some student work better when working around the same sex.  In the article “ A Right To Chose Single Sex Education” Hutchison and Mikulski are fighting for the right to have schools with the same gender. This article is for students and teachers to few different option for the education environment. Which is why it compares to “ Kewauna’s Ambition” because how the writer are specifying on the environment. Hutchison and Mikulski argue that there is no harm in having school with the same gender it's voluntary and would be beneficial for the one that join. However many don’t agree and say that gender is not reason for lost of focus that it’s completely in a student's mind. Which is why is differs from the other

However, controversy arises when the discussion as to what the proper method of teaching sexual education should be. In the school system of the United States sex education is taught in two main forms: abstinence-only sex education, which focuses on abstaining from sexual activity prior to marriage and does not provide contraceptive knowledge, and comprehensive sex education, which focuses on sexual health as a whole including knowledge about contraceptives and how to avoid STDs. Currently the only federally funded programs implemented in public schools are abstinence-only. But does Abstinence-only sex education work? In order to provide an answer this paper will discuss the basic principles and practices which constitute abstinence-only sex education, the proponents argument for abstinence-only sex education and how abstinence-only education affects teen pregnancy and STD

I assert that if a school failed to educate their student by taking an abstinence-only approach in sex ed, then they have failed as instructors and should compensate for their ineffective measures of teaching. I also believe that students will frequently engage in sexual activity regardless of whether or not there is the existence of daycare services in their schools and such services do not motivate kids to be more irresponsible. Most of the students have certain desires for their futures and completion of education, so if a baby were to become a factor surely these students would want a way to continue progression in their education. Daycare at schools could be the solution student parents are hoping for when facing the issue of a child hindering their schooling. The argument that government is a problem in the US is correct; however, claiming that school daycare contributes to the issue is incorrect because in reality if the students were offered these services they could further their education and eventually build a career for themselves-- which ultimately avoids these students dropping out and having to use welfare in the future. The reality is that if a student becomes a parent, he or she was most likely not properly educated on safe sex which is the fault of the school itself for avoiding such conversation in classrooms. Schools should provide daycare for students who are parents because if teen pregnancy is present then school failed in its teachings and attempts to benefit its students and owes it to them to provide support as a result of the school’s faulty sexual

The challenges that are faced in the perspective of gender are principally down to the failure to instill the critical ethoses about the topic in the children at an early stage. There is a better chance of attaining excellent results manifesting in the form of the impact that is likely to be attained (Bigler & Signorella 660). This is in the event there is the primary focus on incorporating the valuable principles in the children. Such would be tantamount to nothing less than the development with all the requirements deemed ideal engraved in their minds.

Many topics around the world spark controversy within social dynamics. Sex education, is a big controversy today expressed throughout every nation. The controversy originates from the simple fact that all people are different. Every person was brought up separately and therefore everyone has a different religion, culture and belief that leads up to different opinions in the matter. Sex education is widely debated because many people have different views on whether we should educate our children about sex, and on what we should teach them about. Although many believe that teaching our teens about sex is morally wrong, not educating the nation's youth about sex will cause more detrimental problems in our adolescence social

In today’s society the word gender has once again regained its popularity among the media. A single gender class or school is one that contains learners of a single sex as opposed to coeducational classes or schools. It is possible to have a coeducational school with single gender classes. The percentage of coeducational classes and schools is far more dominant than that of single gender classes and schools in the nation. While it is clear that the preference among the nation is coeducational schools there have been numerous schools that are on the raise to establish single gender schools especially after 2006 when a few restrictions on Title IX have been lifted. Title IX permits for single sex schools but have a small exception for single gender classrooms within coeducational school. The exceptions must be met with appropriate justifications. The 2006 loosen restrictions must not

In the early 1960’s the controversial issue of sex education started to become a more prevalent conversation among educators and parents alike when the Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of oral contraceptives(Szustek, 2009). Though the topic was previously being discussed as early as mid to late 19th century, it was not deemed completely necessary or an appropriate topic for school aged children prior to this point. In the United States more than 750,000 girls between the ages of 15-19 experience unexpected pregnancies annually and another 19 million of all newly reported Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) cases are young adults between the ages of 15-25(Boonstra, 2013). The argument of whether or not sex education should be taught to students is moot since according to a recent survey by National Public Radio about 93% of adults believe sex education is needed (Anonymous, 2004). The more pressing issue is the content in which is to be presented to students. There are conflicting groups that argue the validity of the methods used to convey the importance of the apparently sensitive subject; one side of the divide are the supporters of abstinence only education which presents a very singular approach and on the other is those that believe in the importance of comprehensive sex education which explores a variety methods of sexual safety.

In the Gazette’s article on sex education in schools, the writer explains how schools should go in depth to explain sex education and not just talk about one thing but about everything. Many schools just teach the basics of sex education and some of the cautions and then never speak of it again. Schools should inform the students more facts or how having a child at a young age will affect their entire life even if they decide to keep the baby or abort it. Sex should be an important topic to discuss in schools because the students are young and want to experiment to be “cool” without knowing the risks.

Sex education is quite a controversial topic in the world of education today. The act of informing young adults about sexual orientation, sexual health, sexual reproduction and the safety precautions in order to stay safe are all things that these young adults should know, but the problem is, who should have to teach them such a controversial topic? Should parents have to overcome the uneasy and uncomfortable feelings they face when mentioning such a topic to their children, or should the responsibility of such a task be confronted by well educated individuals in the school setting? The importance of highlighting the issue of sexual education being a mandatory course necessary for young adults only grows as the pregnancy rate continues increasing, and the age of young adults facing this issue decreases.

The driving force to this surge is the recent research which shows that natural differences in how males and females learn. Putting this research in practice, however has prompted a heated debate that goes beyond the pure academics bringing in play the civil rights, political, socioeconomic and legal concerns. The debate helps us understand the sides to take as its shows the cons and pros of single-sex education system.

Single sex education began in 1890, in England, for men only. Education was believed to be for men only because men usually took over the family by providing funds necessary to run a household.

+ Sex is important. Every human life is the result of someone having sex. So why has sex education become such a controversy? The entirety of the issue seems to fit under a cloud of scandal, because almost every topic is slightly taboo. Sex education however, is vital and absolutely necessary for a student’s comprehensive education. Students, parents, and teachers begin to hit roadblocks when human dignity and social inequalities begin to cause issues and misconceptions about sex education. When one is informed about what sex education really is, the issues within sex education that need to be faced, and how communication can create more solutions, the understanding of how sex education should be handled will naturally increase. The difficult and controversial topic of sex education is inundated with complicated issues, however with the help of increased education and communication, more solutions can be found for our most challenging problems.

Considering this, I propose that public school systems give students a choice between single-sex and coeducation in order to further expand their minds and allow them to grow in their chosen environment. A room full of girls is not discrimination towards the male gender, but rather a sisterhood that could last a lifetime. Their platonic connections would become widespread and carry enough importance to withstand anything. Good friends will be there through every heartbreak and offer their shoulder to cry on every time. Apart from deeper connections, single-sex education gives students the resources to learn at their gender specific pace with limited distractions. The

Single-sex schools are becoming more common. According to some religious reasons, several countries such as Saudi Arabia only have single-sex schools. However, the effect and rationality of single-sex schools are an ongoing controversy, that are being debated around the world. In this essay, the cases for and against single-sex education will be discussed. This essay will firstly present some positive impacts of single-sex schools, including an increase in students’ academic achievement and a decrease in classroom relationship problems related to gender. It will then discuss the reasons against single-sex schools. It will focus on two aspects, including the negligible difference in learning styles between boys and girls, and the inevitable
