The Problem Of Single Sex Schools

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.

Would the grades be higher if we when to gender specific schools? I do not think that the grades would be higher. I think that the grade are higher now, because we are trying to impress the opposite sex. Why would I want to study for school when I can go see a boy after school gets out. In all honesty if I went to a all girl school, after school I would go a see boys because they are not at the same school as me. Right now I have a 3.7GPA, because I see the opposite sex every day every hour. I don't get distracted by the opposite sex because I see them everyday. Could a girl that goes to a all girls school say that?

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.

Hutchison and Mikulski argue that students tend to concentrate better when boys and girls are separated. “Both principals and teachers believed that the main benefits of single-sex schooling are decreasing distractions to learning and improving student achievement.” However, single sex education does not provide socialization. Educating students in single sex classes limits both genders from interacting and working together. One day they will coexist with the opposite sex but how are single sex schools/classes going to prepare the student to interact with the opposite sex when they are

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,

Recently single-sex schools have made a comeback, and this has raised the question of whether they are better than coeducational schools. In single-sex educational systems, male and female students are separated and taught in different school buildings or classrooms. In a historical point of view, only boys were given the opportunity to pursue formal education in the United States. Schools for women began to spread in the beginning of the nineteenth century, almost one hundred years before they were granted the right to vote. By the end of the twentieth century coeducational schooling had reached all elementary and secondary schools

Until the 20th century, education in the United States was gender-specific. Coeducation progressively came into the American educational landscape in the late 1800s, and since that time, same-sex education primarily has been confined to exclusive and denominational schools. Beginning in 2002, after the No Child Left Behind Act was passed, single-sex education has been growing in popularity. According to the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, the United States has over 95 single-sex public schools and more than 445 public coed schools offer single-sex classrooms (Novotney, Amy). With the popularity on the rise, many questions have been asked as to whether this divide in the classroom is academically ailing to a child’s learning or if it is not. By examining the successes of single-sex classrooms, school districts and parent’s can more fully understand that single-sex classes can implement changes to enhance students learning abilities.

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.

Furthermore, it has recently been proved that teachers in co-educational classes frequently favour their own gender. For example, males can dent the progress and confidence of females by refusing to choose them to answer questions or demonstrate in class. A prime example in co-educational schools, including my own, is the refusal of choosing girls in PE

Out of Co-Ed schools and Single Gender schools I would choose Co-Ed schools the reason why is because boys and girls are not separated so that means that they can have a more experienced life with each other instead of without.If they never had Co-Ed schools than boys and girls would never experience life around each other and if they could not then that means that when they get older they would never know about each other.If they only had Single Gender schools,that would be a bad thing because they would not be able to experience a regular life when they get older around girls or boys.The three reasons I will be talking about why I chose Co-Ed schools is devastating,development, and entertainment.

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.

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

Boys and girls learn in two different ways. This reason is why having a single sex school is more rewarding than a co-ed school. According to Dr. Schlosser of Breckinridge County Middle School's (Kentucky) the difference between the way boys and girls learn are the type of weather boys and girls prefer.) Boys prefer to learn in a cool, dark room. When there are two different people wanting two different things its hard to please both sides. Boys also learn much slower than what girls learn, this could be a problem for girls in the same class as boys for girls would learn and to move on, but would have to cut back their learning to wait for the boys to learn the same material. Boys also are interested in different subjects than what girls like. Boys are most secretly interested in music, science, and math. According to GreatSchools.com says boys feel girls won’t like them when they know they are interested in other things such as music and math and not baseball, football, and soccer. Many boys won’t show interest in music in a co-ed school. When boys are placed in a single sex school they won’t have the feeling of impressing girls so more boys will show their interest in arts and music. Boys are much better with math and science than what girls are says NASSPE VIII. NASSPE Vlll is single-sex school out of Huston Texas. "The most profound difference between girls and boys is in any brain structure per se, but also in the sequence of

Does your child’s education matter to you? I believe single sex schools are better than co-education schools. My reasons behind this opinion are single sex schooling has less distraction in class, single sex schools have better learning results and lastly boys and girls in a same sex environment are more likely to pursue subjects they usually would not try.

Have studies proved that segregating students by gender leads them to do better in school? Students learn better in single gender schools. This is because in single gender schools, students tend to be able to concentrate more. Boys and girls are also academically different, so separating them by gender, would benefit students in their academics. Lastly, boys and girls feel less pressured in single gender schools. Those are three main reasons why students do better in single gender schools.
