In first article, the author is professor Richard Fabes from Arizona University who has a strong point of view to against single-sex schools. He also provided the study from him and his colleagues, as well as some others' studies. All of the studies have indicated that single-sex school is not beneficial at all due to scientific research. In addition, it will inflates gender stereotyping which is not good at all.…
In Gender Matters in Elementary Education Research-based Strategies to Meet the Distinctive Learning Needs of Boys and Girls by Virginia Bonomo she states that, “Researchers have found that no single area of development influences gender differences”(Bonomo 1). Research has indicated that there is no need to teach boys and girls differently, because the small differences in their brains do not affect how they learn in the classroom. There are differences in the male and female brains, however the differences are so minor that the do not have an effect on how children learn. Just because there are minor differences in the order in which male and females brains develop, does not mean that that is the reason few students learn differently because correlation does not equate to causation. There is no single area of development that influences gender differences, therefore there should be no differences in the way that boys and girls…
In recent years, there has been an increased interest in single-sex education. Many people have begun to voice their opinion on the matter, some believing it is beneficial, and others arguing it is disadvantageous. In the article “The Bizarre, Misguided Campaign to Get Rid of Single-Sex Classrooms”, the author argues that single-sex education is the solution to many of America’s educational flaws. The author gives multiple arguments supporting the notion of a single-sex schooling environment. She gives evidence stating that girls and boys learn differently, and that single-sex classrooms allow each gender to thrive without distraction. The author also acknowledges the many arguments against single-sex…
The Strange Career of Jim Crow by Van Woodward is based on the time period surrounding the Civil Rights Movement. This book is an accurate account of events that occurred during this time. It shows how the 1896 US Supreme Court Ruling affected blacks and the obstacles they faced to overcome. This book shows how the rights of African Americans have evolved over time. Van Woodward did an excellent job illustrating the events of history with The Strange Career of Jim Crow and created a factual account of history that is still used in classrooms today.…
In conclusion, I believe the greatest benefit to gender-segregated classrooms appears to be the subsequent effect on behavior and self-esteem. Across the board, girls showed in improved rate of self esteem and confidence while boys displayed greater behavioral skills and discipline. This in itself would be cause enough to implement more single-sex classrooms in public schools.…
Children along with parent(s) need to realize everyone hits bumps with either school chosen. The American Psychology Association, writer Amy Novotney conveyed, No matter where your child decides to attend school everyone will show advantages and disadvantages within the school (Novotney 1). Therefore, how good or bad the stories of specific schools that people told their experiences about, both types of the schools benefit and decel. In the article, The Resurgence of Single-Sex Education, Melinda Anderson expressed, people also say there’s a lack of evidence that these differences matter to learning at the individual level (Anderson 1).Coeducational schools and single sex schools may teach different curriculum to their students but a graduate of one school excels the same at another. Statistics show that boys and girls will not decrease in knowledge by attending a certain…

Primary-school classrooms with a female majority showed increased academic success for both boys and girls, along with a notable improvement in subjects like science and math. In the middle schools, girls were found to have better academic achievement in English, languages and math. And in high school, the classrooms which had the best academic achievements overall were consistently those that had a higher proportion of girls enrolled. A higher percentage of girls lowers the amount of classroom disruption and fosters a better relationship between pupils and their teacher, a study of the data suggests. Teachers are less tired in classrooms with more girls, and pupils overall seem to be more satisfied when a high female-to-male ratio persists. American educators should reconsider the effects of the new trend of same-sex segregation on different sectors of society. Gains for girls from classroom gender segregation could be offset by the loss of boys.…
Most single sex schools mix drama, music, social classes; they see the benefit in interaction yet highlight the gains made from same sex instruction. Bullying and fussing by students are less as shown by research done by same sex schools. Girls generally talk less when in same class as boys, as a result separating the sexes does promote more communication among females.…
It is interesting to look at the history of gender differences in education to see how it has developed in order to gain greater understanding of the current situation. Boys and girls were taught together for the first time in the 1960s, with the development of new comprehensive schools. However, opportunities were not equal for both genders in society at this time, and these values were reflected in the school environment. For…
Single sex schools are not a good idea to have because of the behaviors of boys and girls. “When it comes to our kid’s educations, stick to what works, like smaller class sizes, more teacher training and greater attention to curriculum”, says Galen Sherwin of the staff attorney at The American Civil Liberties Union Women’s Rights Project. There are always different ways to improve the school system, but separating gender is not going to help; possibly make it worse as well.…
In addition to that, it may also cause gaps in the learning. The girls might learn more/less than the boys setting them back later on when they're in University. This is because it will be tough to catch up with the lost curriculum. The second reason, equality is affected from single-sex schools is because one group might get a better education than the other. It is our legal right to get the same education so for one group to be getting better education due to their gender is a big step back for us the 21st-century.…
Some high schools in the United States are considering creating separate classrooms to educate the boys and the girls. Many parents and professionals have their own opinions on this topic; but, the real question is if boys and girls would benefit from these separate classrooms. The cons of this topic outnumber the pros in many different ways. Many believe that the idea is undecided whether it is sexist by separating the two genders. On the other hand, students won’t have as many distractions while trying to learn their basic life skills. Another con of separating the students would be, when it comes to becoming adults, students won’t ever be separated in the real world in their job.…
Boys-only and girls-only schools are also called as single sex schools. In these schools boys and girls are taught in separate class rooms or schools, and this mostly exists in private schools. Some parents don't want their children to be in mixed-gender classrooms because, especially at certain ages, students of the opposite sex can be a distraction , also it will be helpful for children’s mentality to learn better. Therefore parents prefer to send their children for boys-only and girls-only schools.…
Understanding and satisfying human needs, wants and demands is a requisite for every marketing company to effectively communicate, exchange offerings and create value for customers. In fact, the whole concept of marketing is initiated to suit the needs of varying target customer segments, satisfy each segment, and bring about changes relative to their changing preferences. Since human needs are a part of the human makeup, marketers definitely stimulate these needs, but sometimes, may not necessarily create or satisfy them. To satisfy them, it is thus crucial to understand what makes the customers happy, and use this as an input for designing the company’s marketing strategies. The more successful the strategies, the more profits the company makes and in the process more trust is gained.…
