Co-ed schools
on their education, since you could say they won’t be distracted by the opposite gender. Also this is a way to avoid them from having relationships with the opposite gender at an early age. It basically gives them more time to grow into their own person, especially in today’s day and age when young children mature at an early age. It is a scary thought and having them in separate schools would eliminate so much things that you would have to deal with if they were in a co-ed school. Also with the impact of peer pressure and the perceived need to conform to popular opinion and thinking, including the desire to be accepted, by the opposite gender, in this instance separate schools would come into play. Also in a single sex school students would learn to ignore gender stereotypes and develop their personality’.
Uditnarine Sugrim- `My immediate answer is no!! They are many different qualities that a boy possesses from a girl and I believe when boys and girls work together and share their view points, more effective and efficient results are produced. Most boys in society are attracted to the masculine form of activities. Likewise girls are attracted to the feminine. But in today’s society you can find that boys are now becoming top chefs of the world, world famous designers of clothing and architects in jewellery. On the other hand, girls are also now moving toward aspects of society that were managed by men, for example; becoming mechanical engineers, fire-fighters/police and even construction workers. I guess my point here is just reminiscing on how times have changed, roles that were dominated by males are now being played by females and vice versa... Thus skills are exchanged when they interact with each other ..... which now brings me to my next point, communication. Girls and boys can communicate, in schools, by way of studying. Studying together would have both genders interacting with each other. Whether if it’s by asking a question or providing an answer. Another important aspect in communication is that they can learn how to treat each other. Some elderly people would say, ”the way you treat a girl is the way you’re going to treat your wife.”
This statement is deemed to be true since many males who only have boy-toboy interactions are likely to be abusive to girls and women. Without the girl-toboy/boy-to-girl communication in schools, boys won’t know how to treat girls and girls won’t know how to treat boys. Through commuting, both genders would understand each other and as such know how to treat each other. To have a better society and a bright future, I feel that it is best to have boys and girls attending the same school-for reasons that I mentioned and more. This will cause our society to become a better place. Our future will be bright and from this, gender equality will be achieved.
