In the halls, you would be sure to find the girls holding in their arms little planners covered with hearts and the latest patterns. Boys, on the other hand, could be found rushing to class to beat the bell with all their homework shoved into one tiny notebook and leaving a trail of papers behind them. In study hall, you could find the girls working on their homework and doing their independent reading throughout the time given. The boys would be glued behind their computer screens playing the latest war games or reading up on the latest sports news.…

    Christine Flowers, author of “With No Boys to Ogle, We Had Time to Learn,” feels really strongly about single sex schools. She informed us about single sex schools, but mostly tired to persuade us into thinking that they are better than coeducational schools.

The author, who grew up in an all women’s school, obviously supports that kind of education. I don’t agree.…

    Many sociologists argue that “factors and processes within school are the main cause of difference” These factors include gender, class and ethnicity. All of these things can lead to certain stereotypes and labels being forced upon pupils. The idea that Teachers have certain expectations of different social and ethnic groups means that self-fulfilling prophecy can lead to pupils living out positive and negative labels. The role of gender in educational achievement is that in past times it has been that boys have achieved less than girls in school, this could be that boys have a history of ‘laddish’ behaviour and have had a negative attitude to learning. This had also led to teachers expectations of ‘lads’ to be low which has caused negative stereotypes and labels.…

    Girls are expected to be submissive, less aggressive, popular, beautiful, and take on traditional nurturing roles; while boys are expected to be active, dominate, aggressive, and more independent. My school, friends, and community also emphasized appropriate gendered behavior. As mentioned in a previous assignment, I learned from my friends that having stuffed animals was not considered masculine, and when we were having recess at school, I learned the socially acceptable ways for boys to behave. The youth sports I participated in also taught me acceptable gender behavior. They were structured in the same way as the soccer league described by Michael Messner.…

    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.…
