Should SIngle Sex Schools be Allowed?

There are many pros and cons about going to a single-gender school along with, a co-ed school. In the passage “Single-Gender Schools Make the Mark” And the passage “Co-ed Schools are Here to Stay” It is very difficult to make up your mind and pick your opinion. Many people thought that single-gender schooling was wonderful and they were here to stay, But that was not correct. I believe that co-ed schools are great for not only the students, but a great adventure for the teachers too.

The part of this argument that affects students lives the most is the socialization aspect of school. If children are separated based on gender from a young age they may grow up without much interaction with the opposite sex; This can cause problems when these students are adults and have to work with people of the opposite sex. The former president of the American Psychology Association, Diane Halpern who has written on this topic multiple times and studied single-sex education says, “School is preparation for adult life,” “How can boys and girls learn how to interact as equals in the workplace if they have no experience interacting as equals in school?” (Novotney). This shows how vital the socialization between boys and girls is, and in our society their opportunity to socialize

It does not matter if the individual is male or female, or what level of schooling they are in, Title IX has them protected under the amendment from sexual harassment in any form including bullying and cyberbullying (Title IX at 40). According to the article I read on the Title IX amendment, sexual harassment is considered to be sexual discrimination and is therefore protected under the Title IX amendment and it is prohibited by law to harass an individual male or female on the basis of sex. Further branching off of the article in the text regarding the debate over Title IX, the amendment has also eliminated sex-segregated classes as well as protects female students who are pregnant or student parents. I remember back in history when males and females were separated like the African Americans and whites were when segregation was a hot topic. Now, we pay no attention to these things that once were because it’s “history”. However, in the recent past there has been a trend to separate male and female students but it happens to violate the Title IX amendment because it brings up other concerns regarding equality of the students and civil rights (Title IX at 40). I found this to be very interesting because I did not know that there were still some schools that segregate their male and female students, and their reasoning for doing so is very logical. Male and Female students brains work differently and I absolutely agree with that statement although there are claims that argue against with what is said about segregating male and female students. In my opinion I feel that it could be very beneficial for all the students at the same time it may cause stereotyping issues and generate bullying. Single-sex classrooms fail to comply with Title IX and violate students civil rights’ (Title IX at 40). To support my

Imagine that you were in a classroom full of your gender how would you feel? Well, if you feel that you're not ok with that well, In school year 2004-05 122 public schools offered single sex classes and 34 public schools were single sex classes mandatory according to “Old Tactic Gets New Use: Public Schools Separate Boys and Girls.” Article. Close to 70% of kids in single sex classes raised their math and reading scores in “Old Tactic Gets New Use: Public Schools Separate Boys and Girls.” Article. Although this may seem bad and shouldn't happen it's really not. Kids in single sex classes will have more of a chance to succeed than students in non single sex class because of most kids have no problem with this in their school, less discipline, and most of all higher grades.

School is preparation for adult life. How can boys and girls learn how to interact as equals in the workplace if they have no experience interacting as equals in school? The argument between single-sex and soed classrooms have been debated for years. In fact, single-sex public education programs are even illegal in some ways. They are illegal because it is classified as segregation, which is illegal. All classrooms should be coed because that's how it will be in the future after school and it keeps stereotypes linked to gender learning away.

The typical classroom consists an image of boys and girls coexisting, working together, and learning in the same way. As when you walk into certain schools you will see rooms with blue walls with race cars on it, while other rooms will have pink walls with flowers on it. These classrooms would be single-gender. Many students or parent is not given an option of single-sex classrooms without it being a private school and costing hundreds of dollars. Schools should be able to offer students more than one option without having a distraction of the opposite gender.

In more recent years, our educational system has faced challenges that are leading our country back into segregation. Single-sex education has resurfaced; jeopardizing the gains our ancestors fought so hard for. A few people believe that the biological make-up between genders is significantly different, that having coeducational classes is doing more harm than good. Conversely, there is no proven study that supports these claims; however studies have displayed the exact opposite. Separating genders within the educational system will only perpetuate and magnify

Although separating male and female student might help concentration, students should not be separated based on gender because, separation would cost a lot of money, a new building, new staff, new bus drivers, new everything. Utilities would be the main cost increase. Bullying is much more common in boy-only or girl-only schools. Social interaction is also very important in schools, although it can be distracting in class, social interactions between male and female students are very important.

Do u want your children to be seperated just because of their gender, I know i wouldn't because I think that that's just wrong. I just don't get why people would let certain schools do that it's just wrong, at least in my opinion it is. I don't like people that think its ok to separate kids just because of their gender.

Public schools are wonderful, they are meant for everyone, and anyone can attend them no matter who you are, where you come from, or how you look like. We all learn together, play together, and experience together. At public schools nobody gets left behind, because we all look out for eachother. Everyone is welcome at all public schools! Well with the exception of that one… and you can’t attend that one either…oh and that one too, … we can’t forget that one… oh that’s right you are a boy so you can’t go to that school that happens to be way closer than the other one! Single- sex schools: enforcing stereotypes and allowing segregation since the moment they were created, and now public schools want to stop mixed education in hopes it will increase

The United States is not a males only society, nor is the rest of the world. By keeping boys separate from their female counterparts, they are unable to learn the proper way to act around girls. They will be unable to develop the much needed social skills necessary to communicate with females. In a country that is 50.6% female, communication between genders, especially for males is crucial. Initially, a 1.2% difference in the gender populations may not seem like a lot, but in a country of around 325,850,000, 1.2% more females equates to almost 4 million more women than men. When boys graduate and enter the real world and have no clue how to interact with the opposite sex, they will most likely face a multitude of problems including social awkwardness and communication issues among other misunderstandings. Placing boys in single-sex classrooms will put them at a severe disadvantage once they reach the real world because they will not know how to act in a gender-integrated society where they are outnumbered by

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." This quote is from Aristotle. Same sex education has been existing in many private schools, but today approximately 400 public schools are offering this type of education. Same sex schools have expanded world-wide, and its rates have become higher over time. Same sex schools were established, because of the emotional differences between females and males. Education is not better in same-sex schools due to the lack of socialization between males and females.

Juliet Williams, UCLA Department of Gender Studies professor, calls out LAUSD for nonresponsive action to results that suggest sex segregated schools not only don’t improve students performances, but also stunts certain necessary social and learning abilities, in the Los Angeles Times article “What's wrong with single-sex schools? A lot.” She begins exposing underlying sexist and racist motivations for sex-separated schools and proceeds to explain that the segregation supports generalization about differences between the sexes, which Williams suggests is common among school practices. Williams continues, admitting that the schools provide opportunities for smaller class sizes as well as allow for “strong mentoring relationships”, although she finds fault with the overall lack of evidence that single-sex education improve student’s performances. Ultimately, the author is exposing injustices in single-sex education in the hopes of not only motivating LAUSD, but also educate parents in the hopes of gathering a larger concerned

When it comes down to sending your child to a certain school, do you know what you will do? Will you want to send your child to a school that is split up in genders or a coed class? I think when it comes down to what education you want for you or your children, you want to do what they work best in. Does the student have a hard time speaking in class, are they outgoing, are they failing tests, or are they ahead of their grade or is the student at perfect level? Education will always stay a big part of our society and it's our job to get the most out of our learning process as we

Imagine you are at a school dominated by a group of people who Atheism and you and a few others wanted to vocalise your religion as Christians. In todays schools you should be able to, some schools have programs to help people do this but many do not. At RB we have a lot of clubs where you can show what you believe in whether you want to join the Christ on Campus Club or the LGBT club you can. Many people hate others because they are different, we should have more clubs and programs at schools across the country where new people who have common interests can meet and make friends.
