Single-sex or co-education schooling - which is better?

By graeme

Neither, it solely depends on the child and the teachers, you get the best results when you match them up properly co-ed or not makes no difference

Single sex schools are far superior to co=eds.
In the 50s and 60s, boys were far ahead of girls in the success stakes.
Girls did Home Craft(cooking sewing, etc},Comercial(typing and short hand)General (1 language, english,maths,science,social studies and PE)and Professional (2 languages, French, German or Latin plus the English Maths Science PE and Social Studies)
There were schools called Techs, where those teenaqers who were not academically inclined, studied woodwork,metalwork,and many other hands on subjects which often led to them obtaining an apprentiship in the career of their interest.That system was far superior to what we have now. Boys in boys schools, girls in girls schools.
No floating hormone please. I went to a girls school, have taught in girls and boys secondary schools as well as several co-ed schools.
Give me a single sex schools any day.Take no notice of the Yanks.
Most of them have nothing between their ears anyway.
They wer trained to be mothers nurses or school teachers

Single-sex or co-education schooling-which is better?I am in the same vote as Kane.I think that both have the same set of rules and guidelines.Can't understand why we had girls and boys schools.Afterall it is never like that in real life.Put it this way I think it creates a lack of understanding between the sexes.Furthermore it only encourages sexual separatism.Understandably like racial based schooling does.I would't elaborate and say most hard -line feminist were mostlikely products of such schooling.

Both have the same set of rules and guide lines... Never understood why we had girls and boys schools.. Its never like that in real life... I think it creates a lack of understanding between the sexes... And only encourages sexual separatism... Like racial based schooling does... I will generalise and say most hard-line feminist were most likely products of such schooling...
