Single Sex Schools
09-16-92
In our world today there are many schools with a student body
consisting of both sexes, nevertheless there are a significant num ber of
schools carrying on the tradition of a single sex system. The fact that
there are an undeniable number of single sex schools, is prof ound proof
that the advantages of the single sex system overweigh the disadvantages.
People said that friendship starting from childhood is more s table
and valuable than friendship starting when working in the society. During
leisure time boys will naturally gather together and talk a bout topics of
interest to them. Some topics of conversation is probab ly not suitable in
the presence of girls. The same happens to girls in s ingle sex schools.
In a school of single sex, the students will feel mor e comfortable and
relaxed in this way.
The students in grade 8 would probably start to enter into their teen-
age years. These teenagers because of curiosity, would have interest in
trying to understand the difference between the two se xes, such as life
style, interest, etc. Being in the same classroom ev ery day this might
not be able to let them concentrate well enough on their studies.
Besides the above advantages, studying in a single sex school would
also keep attendance problems to a minimum. Boys and girls, being in the
same classroom every day would naturally talk about activities aft er
school such as going for movies, having a drink in the evening. In a sch
ool of single sex, the students will not be given any extra temptations t o
skip or be late because of their social life.
Opinions from the public seem to indicate that schools of sin gle sex
are more popular than co-ed schools . If this system was not beneficial
then all the schools such as Brebuef that has adopted t his system would
have eliminated it. Therefore the advantages must de finitely overshadow
the disadvantages.
