English Argument Essay 1 1
No Boys Allowed Distractions happen in the classroom all the time for kids and cause them to be unable to finish an assignment and will not pay attention in class. And I believe a big part of that is having co-educational classes instead of single-sex or same-sex classes. I really feel that this happens more to middle school students than any other grade level because in middle school you’re meeting new people so you’re going to be shy around them and won’t want to participate in class. My younger sister is in 6th grade at Monroe County Middle School and she always talks about how she doesn’t like to participate in class because, “all the boys stare at her,” and I believe this causes her not to pay attention in class. But if we started having single sex classes I really do believe students would be more open to participating in class and paying attention because they will not feel overpowered by the opposite sex.
Single-sex classes truly do eliminate the distractions that surround the opposite sex. Whether it’s their looks or the way they act. I do believe for girls it’s not wanting to look dumb or ridiculous in front of the boys because girls are really sensitive and hate to be made fun of and boys do not care to say what comes to their mind or want to look “cool” in front of their friends to impress the girls. According to the article, “Same sex schools may still have a chance” by Kathleen Vail, same-sex schools and classes eliminate the distraction and allow teachers to accommodate boys’ and girls’ supposedly different learning styles. I do believe this is true because my 6th grade year I had an all-girls P.E. class and I wasn’t afraid to participate in the games compared to my 7th and 8th grade year. Jill Rojas, the former principle at Jefferson Leadership Academies, states, “The students are more focused on what’s going on.” This is because the distraction has been eliminated.
