    There is great debate in society today in regards to whether our school systems should reintegrate a gender segregated education system. In the article “If Girls Can Succeed Only at the Expense of Boys, Maybe We Need Segregated Schools,” Link Byfield proposes that by reintroducing segregation into our educational structure it could eliminate the declining performance of male students and allow both sexes to achieve greater scholastic success. Although Byfield presents some valid points to support his argument, upon close examination many biases become evident which weaken his case. These generalizations of why girls are achieving higher success opposed to boys fail to persuade the reader to accept his standpoint.…

    In the article, the author describes the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) campaign “Teach Kids, Not Stereotypes” and its goal to “discredit and terminate gender-specific programs in American schools.” The American Civil Liberties Union thinks organizing schools by gender is equivalent to organizing schools by race. Their goal is to terminate all single-sex programs in America, by threatening the schools with expensive lawsuits and investigations. The author spends much of the article discrediting the claims made by the ACLU, saying “race and sex are different, as the Supreme Court has emphasized and as most everyone recognizes” (Sommers, 1). Although I do not agree with the extremity of the arguments made by the ACLU, I believe there are strengths in their reasoning. There are two major critiques made by the ACLU regarding single-sex education. The first argument is that “there is good evidence that sex segregation increases gender stereotyping and legitimizes institutional sexism” (Kimmel, 1). They believe a single-sex educational environment inadvertently leads to the reinforcement of stereotypes. Assigning students of one gender to a class and using gender-based instructional techniques is evidence of the assumption that all students of the same sex are alike, and will respond in like fashion. Just because a boy is in the boys ' class, does not mean that he is interested in physical…

    Did boys and girl differ in their play themes and roles? In what ways? Di you observe groups at play, mixed with both girls and boys? I noticed that the boys wanted to play different games than the girls because the boys wanted to be strong, animals for example, some of boys wanted to be a turtle may be because there are influence about the cartoons turtle Ninja turtle in TV. The children boys and girls were playing together, but boys and girls had their own preferences when they play. There are some exceptions in some children some boys like to play all the children in the class, but some girls did not want to play with boys.

    Therefore there is a domination of boys in physical and academic subject and girl’s domination in creative non-academic subjects. This may be because of stereotypes such as girls are expected to do creative subjects such as food technology to teach them cooking and boys to be the academic one that does technical, physical subjects. Children tend to therefore more confident in subject that there gender dominates as they engage to these subjects more.
