Canadian Students Joining Mixed Schools

Improved Essays
Would parents have faith that mixed schools is the inimitable choice for their children? In the past few years a national survey conducted in 2005-2006 that 79% of Canadian students join co-education schools. Co-education schools give students the competency and courage to deal and cooperate flexibly with the opposing sex, however antagonists affirm that some students do not have the neither the ability nor the courage to deal with the other gender. Students should join mixed sex schools for three main causes, social, academic, and psychological.
Some people are confident about the fact that students who join single sex schools are academically better than those joining the mixed gender schools. Opponents also assert that learning within single

If there is a good supervision in schools boys and girls psychological characteristics will become better than they might consider. Students learning and studying in bi gender schools can enjoy the benefit of constructing a set of equal morals and values, especially about love affairs and problems. Inspiration between students will increase as they will feel involved in activities together. Both genders in bi gender schools will know their limits between each other. Boys play a very big role in schools because they can support and help girls if there is any problem, girls cannot always solve problems on their own because there are some problems boys should be involved in them :in this way girls will feel safe. As stated by (Lambert and milldam, 1968), single sex schools advocates …show more content…
Their behavior and way of dealing with each other will be better in all situations. Students will have better interaction with the real environment; they will have the capability to solve situations and problems in more mature and realistic way. Additionally these students when they grow up the will have the will to take risks of challenges because they learnt in school how to take challenges when dealing with boys in projects and activities. Mixed sex schools help the students to adapt and cope with society demand. In addition to all of these students will concentrate on their studies because they start working hard to get better grades than the boys and vise versa. It is clear that students in singe sex schools are totally out of question and comparisons when compared with coeducation schools. In my opinion the ministry of education should start by employing psychology teachers for each mixed school to make sure that students will be graduated with the best behavior characteristics and they will have the best way of dealing with people

    “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…

    In “Have Today’s Schools failed Male Students?” author Patricia Dalton debate about the subject whether today’s school have failed male students. Standing on a point of psychologist, she has experience of being a mother of two daughters and a son, she was able to give out a lot of evidence about how people neglect the needs of boys.

    One other thing the article pointed out was that there are academic benefits to single-sex classrooms. “Both boys and girls described that they found the single-sex classroom less distractive without the other sex present, resulting in a greater ability to focus”, said Blakesley, “students appreciated that teachers could pick topics of specific interest to them, thereby tapping into their motivations more easily. As a result,…

    Also, since girls are anticipated to be more emotional and talkative, their verbal skills are emphasized by parents and teachers, while boys are encouraged to be strong and good at sports which improves their spatial skills (Mckie, 2010). Lastly, schools also come with new peers, which also encourage gender role socialization. They do this by calling each other names such as “sissy” if they are interested in doing “girl” things such as going to a tea party (Hanly, 2013). Gender socialization seems to be ingrained in our…

    The topic that the author chose for this essay had the potential to convey some great points of view that may not have been considered by most readers; however, the way the information was conveyed caused her argument to fall short. In my analysis of Pampillonia's essay "The Benefits of Single-Sex Education", I will not be focusing on the problems of her transitions or paragraph structure, but instead on the way that she presents her information. The author not only used her sources inappropriately, but also did not present her own unique point of view which led to a very biased feeling argument on the benefits of single-sex education. In my own research for the Exploratory essay, the best sources I found not only gave me objective information, but also informed me of outside factors that might effect the data.…

    In my gender mixed classrooms I have seen boys teach girls lessons and girls teach boys lessons. Most people will think about those lessons every day, or even put those lessons to use someday. If there are gender separate classrooms children might not have those lessons to learn from. Which might lead them to making a big mistake later on in their life. That they will most likely…

    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…

    Canada 's current public education system is both flawed and lacking. Students are likely to focus more in a classroom with people of the same gender and age, as they are less prone to be distracted. From a first-hand experience with the baby boomer generation, millennia’s are growing up with the idea that if one goes to school, tries hard, and get good grades; one will graduate, go on to post-secondary and, ultimately be successful (“Rethinking Education”). If one does not desire to put the time and effort into school, then one will likely have the constant, unrelenting image of a failure in the back of his/her mind. There are various examples of children failing subjects every year, but the education system has been reluctant to change, to…

    Schools in Florida are segregating boys from girls, and creating separate schools for each gender. Personally I would not like to go to a boys only school. Because if we got separated from girls we wouldn't be able to find a good partner, since you don't really know girls good. We would also be less experienced when it comes to socializing with girls.…

    Education is important. Some value it more than others, that is why some adults take extreme measures in order to provide their children with the best education, to receive such important thing. In the past same-sex schools began before the 19th century mainly because of cultural views, although it has now expanded and many people have been enrolled into these schools or classes as personal preference. “In the mid 1990’s, there were only two public schools in the United States that offered single-sex classrooms; today there are more than 500. Recently, however, there has been a push to offer single-sex classrooms in the American public school system (Palmisano).”…

    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.…
