Why We Should Have Separate Schools

Improved Essays
Many people debate over whether the government separates girls and boys in schools. Some people saying that if students were forced to be separated by gender, they wont learn how to interact with students who are different from them. Others say that students who are having separate schools are performing better because they aren’t distracted. Indeed, a survey taken in 1998 has shown that students in gender-segregated schools have scored higher on standardized tests, but since 1990s, these schools became less popular. In my opinion, separate schools will be a positive force if governments are encouraging students at these schools to co-mingle outside the

    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.”…

    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).…

    Schools in America's southern states were segregated in the late 19th century following the passing of laws directed against blacks, these laws were known as the Jim crow laws. Segregation meant that Black students were sent to different schools than white students. This was unfair because although the schools were meant to be ‘equal’ the black schools received less public funding than white schools, therefore they did not receive the same standard of facilities, For example the white schools would get more modern toilets and better textbooks, standard of education or learning materials. Segregation in schools is an injustice because it violates the American Constitutions Thirteenth Amendment(1865), Fourteenth Amendment (1868) and Fifteenth…

    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?

    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.…
