Single Gender Classes Are Effective

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

Mention separating students and putting them in same sex classrooms or even schools guarantees an uproar, however what most students don’t realize is that when making the great divide it actually creates a better learning environment and it unlocks opportunities for their future. Of course students will need time to adapt and most should take into consideration that just because they’re put into different classrooms doesn’t mean that their grades will automatically be golden. This approach is taken to understand the different learning styles of the male and female. With this, new lesson plans will be able to be assembled to suit their divergent needs.

It is no secret that, in general, boys and girls differ in their learning styles. Capitalizing on these differences could advance classroom performance. With on-going concerns about student success in school, any changes in the classroom that could increase student achievement should be considered. Recognizing the learning differences between boys and girls, one of the changes that could be instituted is single-gender classrooms.

Gender roles and stereotypes are enforced through single-sex education. For example, believing that boys should learn in more tactile, energetic ways can cause an increase in aggressive behavior (Lewin). This goes hand in hand with the idea that we should not base children’s education purely on gender but, use other factors such as, personality, interests, and upbringing. The argument to this is that it is important for girls and boys to learn with only their respective sex because they are able to learn in an environment with children who learn in the same manner as them. This cannot be true because each child learns differently and has unique learning needs.

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.

What’s in everyone's mind is if this technique of having single sex classes would work? “Only 59% of girls in mixed classes were scored as proficient, while 75% of girls in single-sex ones achieved proficiency. Similarly, 37% of boys in coeducational classes scored proficient, compared with 86% of boys in all-boys classes.” (Hutchison 9) When they tried out single sex classes they got positive results. There was a huge difference between single sex classes, and coeducational classes. By viewing the end results it is pretty obvious to see that single sex classes are way more effective than coeducational classes.This will obviously help students become high caliber students in order for them to be ready for college. I believe that students would do way much better in school by having them take single sex classes. This may also affect the days that increase or it may not, due to the coeducational classes we have in public schools. The AUHSD needs to understand that in order to help their students become successful, they need to be willing to do anything in order to make that happen. Which means that they can increase days or separate male and female in order to make them successful and prepared for college. The only negative thing about this is that students might be used to single sex classes , and they might be forced into taking coeducational classes once

Did you know that single-sex classrooms are the worst classes ever? Over the past decade, single-gender classrooms have been opened in at least 230 schools in the rural, suburban, and the urban areas. Single-gender classrooms are classrooms where either young girls’ are in one class together, or young boys are in another class together. Single-sex classrooms were created because studies showed that boys and girls learn differently and they could benefit from being in a classroom with peers to whom they can relate. Since 2008, single-gender education has been the key to improved educational performance among boys and girls throughout the years. Today, gender differences among girls and boys are steadily rising in the classrooms they are in,

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.

“there are some case studies that have been done to show some benefit of single sex classrooms, but like a lot of other educational research, it is mixed.” (Lewin, 2011)

Single-sex classes should be chosen instead of coeducational ones. It removes distractions from the other gender, helps teach children about things using previously known topics, and makes both teaching and learning

When deciding whether or not to experiment with single-sex classrooms, there are many issues that must be taken into consideration. Those who would be hurt most by this decision would be males. If boys are not able to learn alongside girls, their achievement level would decline and their character development would be hindered. Experimenting with this concept would arise multiple issues and put boys at disadvantages that would put them behind those who are able to learn in coeducational classrooms both educationally and behaviorally; these concerns must be taken into consideration before putting single-sex classrooms into place.

I am against single gender classes because I feel there would be more dramatic situations involving the female classes, children would not learn how to properly interact with the opposite sex, and during group discussions they would only understand their genders point of view.

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

Single-sex education is becoming a new way of learning for this day in age. It is certainly understandable of parents being reluctant for their children to be in mixed-gender classrooms because of the opposite sex distraction. According to Leonard Sax, “…whenever girls and boys are together, their behavior inevitably reflects the larger society

Not only are the students more focused in the classrooms with single-sex classrooms, but they also feel more comfortable with each other and aren't very concerned with the way they look. They don't need to be worrying about impressing anyone because everyone there is of the same gender so it would be a waste of their time if they tried to impress one another. It is common for them to be able to go
