Gender specific schools will create social problems. After school boys and girls won't know how to interact with each other.

It would be awkward between a boy and a girl at work

    “In both Reed and Frontiero the reason asserted to justify the challenged gender-based classifications was administrative convenience, and that alone.” Schlesinger v. Ballard Keeping BAE as an all-boys school is substantially related to the important government interest because boys are thriving academically, more so than they were in co-ed schools. Keeping BAE and all-boys school would be good public policy because the students are used to that environment. By making it co-ed, there is a chance that boys might go back to performing poorly in school. Also, since the curriculum is tailored to fit the needs of males, many females might not be as comfortable in that environment and could possible perform…

    “The Case Against Single-Sex Classrooms,” by Margaret Talbot, “The War Against Boys,” by Christina Hoff Sommers, and “Men Are From Earth, and So Are Women: It’s Faulty Research That Sets Them Apart,” by Rosalind C. Barnett and Caryl Rivers, have their opinion on men and have shown what they are. What I came to notice the most after reading these interesting articles is that why a lot of women are standing up and expressing these ideas to the world is because they want to make a change in the way the world sees women from men. This change is being processed slowly but it is not up to what women believe is fair. Talbot’s essay was one that caught my attention, especially towards the end of the article. At the start she talks about how a situation…

    Same-Sex Schools Controversy over gender-segregated versus coeducational classrooms has raged over the past several decades. Among the arguments there are four primary sources of contention. These include socialization, stereotyping, academic gain/loss, and whether or not students should be allowed an option between coed or single-sex classes. Opponents claim that the negatives far outweigh the positives for both boys and girls while supporters of this system of classroom division maintain that students profit in numerous ways. “In the United States, part of the rationale for single-sex schooling is the view that adolescents create a culture in school that is at odds with academic performance and achievement” (Hughes).…

    The binary gender system is the accepted notion in the society which labels gender as two different and opposite forms i.e. men and women. The system makes it easier to understand how society works as it assigns the identity to both males and females where males are supposed to be masculine and females feminine. It also establishes the roles in the society and creates a ‘normal’ society in which a woman does housework, takes care of the family and the man is the breadwinner of the family. Although the system looks very simple and good but there are many limitations of the system as it ignores the complexity and diversity of the sex and gender. This paper examines the threats and difficulties which a binary gender system poses to the society…

    Studies have proven that kids same sex classes get better grades, but grades aren't the only thing that matters. Having boys and girls together helps kids develop as a person, because they're exposed to more, therefore we should not have girls and boys separated into different classes in school. First off, there are more than just two genders. Where are you planning on putting the kids that don't fit into those two, very small, society conforming, boxes? What about non-binary or gender-fluid kids, to name just two of the other possibilities.…

    Andrew Mullins argues that “single-sex schooling allows teachers to tailor their teaching style to the boys and facilitates a more rounded educational experience. In a co-ed school, boys can opt out of curriculum areas where they would be outperformed.” That means the instructor will feel uncomfortable in the class or in the school if he or she has to use different teaching styles for different genders, and the girls will be scared from the boys in the school. Another reason boys and girls should be separated in the classroom is that this will reduce spread the disease and make teenage pregnancy more likely.…
