Girls and boys should be taught separately
The current
Spanish government has recently been discussing an old dilemma which comes from
the times of the dictatorship: the segregating educative system that divided
boys and girls in different schools. There are several reasons that make us
think that this is a very retrograde and bad idea which doesn’t fit in a modern
and European country. But otherwise, there are a lot of points that will prove
that this can be an idea to solve the scholar failure in our country.
Is it better
to separate boys and girls just in order to improve the attention and education
in class? In my opinion, this alteration would have positive and negative
effects to the pupils. It is true that the fact of mixed classes with boys and
girls produces a good influence on each other. Men and women have to live in
the same society, and they also have to work together in their jobs. So
separating them would produce a lack of skills in a future workplace, so
preparing pupils for the real world is one of the strongest reasons that back
up the current educative system.
But actually,
there are a lot of points to distrust in this system. It is believed that young
people start relationships earlier than other generations did. So that is
turning some schools in a big dating centre in which boys and girls go there
just to flirt and messing around. Classes turn into places where you can find a
partner. Nothing to do with classes when the segregating system was on. It is
also believed that boys and girls learn in different ways, so it would be
better to separate them in other to potentiate their different learning styles,
and I’m pretty sure that would make improve our studies level.
Despite this,
I still believe that boys and girls must learn together, because that’s the best
way to create a society where men and women have the same importance in the job
world.
