FOR AND AGAINST SINGLE-SEX SCHOOLS.

This debate is on whether single-sex schools are better or worse than co-educational schools. This debate is very popular and has been debated about it all over the world. Yet nobody has ever come up with the decision of which school is better.

One big reason that people usually come up with when talking about which school is better is the fact that girls and boys try to impress the opposite sex instead of concentrating on their studies. This results to many things such as grades going down and less concentration on school. If a student is placed in a single-sex environment the students does not need to impress anyone because it's just boys or its just girls. The students in single-sex schools are always concentrating on their studies and there is a less chance of them being distracted.

Researchers have also found that girls in single-sex schools tend to do better in their exams compared to the girls in co-educational schools. Reasons to this is again lack of concentration on studies and the other reason is that in a mixed environment boys are more louder and they are more dominating so they answer all the questions and they also get the most attention. Teachers sometimes favor their own gender in a co-educational school, if students were in single-sex schools there would be no such thing as favoring a gender because there would be only one gender in the school.

Girls in single-sex school do better in academic subjects such as math and science than girls in co-educational students. Boys do better in subjects such as music than boys in co-educational students. Researchers have also found out that in single-sex schools there are fewer reports from teachers complaining about violence created by students. However that is not the case in co-educational schools.

Many boys like to play around in the classrooms and crack jokes, if there are no boys then there are no distractions. Studies have found out that in co-educational schools if there are more girls in a classroom than boys, than the boys sit at the back of the classroom ...
