Single-sex vs. coeducational schools:
For many children, being together with the other gender is a very important factor, especially as they age. Let's see what is thought to be good or bad about single-sex or coeducational education.
Single-sex schools
- students can focus on their studies instead of the other gender
- shy kids can be calmer this way, because many fears come from uncertainty about how to treat the other gender, and they could do a better job at school
- sometimes many kids can’t handle their hormones when the opposite sex is around
- boys and sometimes even girls can be too loud to get attention, and this might be reduced
- despite all the advantages, there are certain cons as well:
- kids may not learn how to socialize with the other gender, so they might have fear when they want to start a relationship in the future
- all-boys schools may trigger aggressive behaviour – many boys may want to be the toughest guy in school
- students may not study because they miss the opposite sex and therefore lose their motivation
- friends will make fun of them or call them losers because they don’t have the chance to be around the other gender
Coeducational schools:
- when both genders are together, students may learn how to socialize with boys or girls, and this can lead to more successful relationships in the future
- it is natural to be surrounded by both genders, and the lack of it might cause weird feelings in students
- boys can teach girls about science subjects, while girls can teach boys about literature and history (stereotype indeed!)
- we have to admit that dating is a defining factor in kids' lives as they grow up, so being able to interact with the other gender is often just what they need
- however both genders can go crazy about the others, so they have a chance to be distracted from learning
- shy kids can develop inferiority complex, because their mates have no difficulty talking to boys or girls
- stronger students, especially boys may bully other boys, who are not popular with the girls
