Should boys and girls be taught separately? Mariona E. (2n batx B)

Should boys and girls be taught separately?

There has always been a big controversy about boys and girls being taught separately. Nowadays, it is really current to see both types of schools but some years ago the tendency was to separate both sexes. From my point of view, we should never be taught this way.
To begin with, I strongly believe a class with boys and girls is better than a single sex class because, although they may have different learning styles or different ways to behave, they can learn about each other and complete the other. Moreover, it is said that these classes are funnier and have less conflicts because there is a balance.
Likewise, guys have to learn to communicate with the opposite gender if they want to success in the future and have a good work life. In my opinion, learning with both female and male gender is a good influence and helps to be prepared for the real world.
On the other hand, some people think separate schools are better because of the concentration or the high qualifications. It’s true that guys can be more concentrated in these classes because in mixed classes they focus on getting the attention of the opposite sex. However, boys and girls learning together provides more experience and preparation for the future.

To finish with, guys take more advantage and learn more in mixed classes so, as far as I concerned, they should never be taught separately. Boys and girls were born to live together and so as to learn together.
