All Girls School Representatives Council

Improved Essays
Dear The All GIRLS SCHOOl representatives council, We live in a society that judges people based on their race,gender, and their age. When did people become so critical? Is it because they do it for the pleasure within themselves? We could never know based on how people have been shutting themselves from certain groups of people. Recently a new situation has occurred in New Jersey. There have been a lot of single sex girls schools opening up because of the belief girls learn better when they aren’t competing with or imitated by boys, who statistically get more attention in the classroom. It is not a good idea to propose to have single sex schools for boys or girls because it won’t prepare or teach girls for later life, discriminates transgenders …show more content…
Or even if your daughter is a tomboy, how will she feel when she is isolated with the typical “girl”. Twenty percent of America has transgenders. It may not seem a lot, but that's a lot of people. That might be more than 800,000 transgenders. Making schools like this around the U.S.A will cause riots,destruction, and mayhem. Imagine hundreds of thousands of people rioting in the streets and trying to jump over the white house fence. The government will make a bigger deal of it infuriating the people. Is this what you representatives want. Your comments are very sexist and are offending to the opposite sexes! Honestly, people like you ruin America and put it into a …show more content…
It might be statistically true that girls get more attention than boys, but what about the schools that give more attention to the girls. Why are they not to be criticized? In my school girls are the main priority for the teachers. The girls get to do everything first while the boys just sit and do the scrap works. For instance last week in Gym we had gym locker room inspections. We had been working hard and kept it in a good smell and nice shape. On the other hand, the girls were spraying perfume(not allowed) leaving items on the floor, and screaming in the locker room and guess who won? Yep, the girls won! So, saying girls are discriminated 99% of the time is a huge sexist remark that many would take personally. All girls and boys bring a positive attitude to the classroom. What if all the females couldn’t think of the answer, but the boys do or vice versa. They could all help each other out. There should not, I repeat, should not be any single sex schools. There will be furious people and males and transgenders take up about 75% of the population. Just imagine that 75% go mayhem on your school(s). I advise you change your thoughts and words and include everyone in your school. It is not a good idea to propose to have single sex schools for boys or girls because it won’t prepare or teach girls for later life, discriminates transgenders and others that don’t have a specific gender, lastly girls and boys each bring thoughtful ideas

    “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…

    Those who were in charge at her school told her that the dress code was enforced so strictly for girls because certain clothing that girls wear can be “distracting” to young boys. Maggie Sunseri created a film the previous summer called, Shame: A Documentary on School Dress Code, where she interviewed a number of her classmates and also their principal. Many petitions are being signed by students that address the issue of sexism within the area of school dress code. One reason that this article was particular interesting was because it also addressed the way in which policies unfairly restrict transgender students.…

    In other words, depending if the school is an all girl school or a co-educational school really has an effect on the student's education. Not only that but it focuses on how they can't implants parents into putting their children into these single-sex classrooms or school. They gathered the information by an interview, testing and observing the scores of those students at an all-girl school and those in a co-educational school.

    Whether it be in textbooks or in the classroom itself. According to the article “Learning Environment”, many textbooks before Title IX referred to guys being brave, honorable, and active. Textbooks rarely referenced girls and when they did then only a few certain characteristics were usually attributed to them, such as dependence or nurturing. In the classroom itself, girls were brought up thinking that boys were good at math and science and girls were good at art and literature. Nowadays, the stereotypes are changing.…

    I believe that attending coeducational schools better prepares kids for the future, since in the real world men and women work, study, and live together. Although I don’t agree with separating the sexes, Christine Flowers makes really interesting points in her article. She says that boys and girls can mix at social parties, sports events, and other places outside of school, but that having them sit next to you in class can be intimidating, distracting and could prevent learning and participation. At Bryn Mawr, the all girls school she attended, Christine described the women as being “brilliant, independent, and focused.”…

    In Rocky Mountain Middle School, there are only bathrooms for men and women. We should have gender neutral bathrooms in our school. If we had gender neutral bathrooms in our school, it would make genderqueer (transgender and non-binary) questioning students and feel much safer and better represented in their own school. To begin, many genderqueer students feel unsafe in single gender restrooms, and the psychological effects are damaging. Going into single gender bathrooms can cause anxiety, fear, and other stresses for genderqueer students.…

    In the article, “White House lifts transgender student bathroom guidance” by Sadie Gurman and Maria Danilova discusses the issue of transgender students using either their biological bathroom and locker room or the rooms that fit their gender identity. Danilova and Gurman first discuss how the federal government is ending federal protection of specifically transgender students. Showing readers how the Obama Administration dealt with this issue, “...last May told public schools to grant bathroom access even if a student’s chosen gender identity isn’t the same as what’s in their record” this policy got push back, “Thirteen states sued”. These lawsuits may have also be triggered by the threat to cut funding if schools did not follow this non legally…

    American University professors David and Myra Sadker work together to expose gender bias in the education system. In the excerpt “Hidden Lessons,” from their book Failing at Fairness: How Our Schools Cheat Girls (1994), the Sadkers shed light on social injustices within the education system. They use examples from controlled simulations to show their audience how gender bias happens right before their eyes. Their argument says that there is gender bias in schools, but many teachers, parents, and students aren’t even aware of it.…

It is probably happening right now. Women experience some type of sexism at least once a week, if not on a daily basis. No one is born a sexist, people are taught to be sexist.…

    Raven Symone has surpassed the child actor curse and become known, not only for her acting roles when she was young, for her present day persona. Raven has said many things that people agree with, and some that people do not. In interviews she says, she does not want to be labeled gay or African-American. Speaking to Oprah, she said, “I am American”. I think the uproar that stemmed from this is focused more on snippets of the conversation not the whole message.…

    A quote from political commentator and lobbyist Monica Crowley states, “True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity - or political ideology.” The controversial debate of the advantages and disadvantages of same-sex and co-educated classes are common amongst schools, but everyone wants to know what is best for the school and their students. Some studies show that test scores go up when students are surrounded only by students of their gender. Even though this is the case, what schools need to focus on is the negative impact that it gives on the young, developing minds that are not completely introduced to the opposite sex. The result of same-sex classrooms silently encourages…

    For centuries boys were sent to school while girls were kept at home to learn to maintain households and raise families. As societies began to recognize that females could learn equally well, girls’ schools became popular. During the early history of America, both boys and girls were sent to school to learn primarily about important components of their religion. Thus, coeducation was born. Throughout the pioneer days, one room schools housed both genders.…

    Daddy’s Little Girl (Or Is It Boy Today?) The focal point of this past unit has been the denial of sex and sexual themes around children. We discussed reasons why adults may attempt to shield children from all things sex. What we discovered, however, is that adults not only shield children from sexual themes simply because of their age and their perceived innocence, but they also attempt to control and rid their child of any gender “queerness” that does not fit into heteronormative and reproductive-oriented society, or their own views and ideals on “proper” boy-girl behaviour.…

    Sexism. You hear the word pretty much everywhere you go. What sexism means to me is downgrading someone because of the gender that they are and for what they do because of their gender. Sexism happens just about anywhere. It can happen on a bus, it could happen at school, it can even happen in sports.…

    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.…
