- It takes out the gender stereotype
- Women head towards math and analytical paths, and vice versa with men towards literature
- Men and women learn better in different environments
- "Girls cannot leave it to boys to dissect the frog, and boys can't leave it to girls to edit the newspaper."
- Men go to a male only school to learn be gentlemen better
- Statistically, girls who go to co-ed schools don't lean towards analytical career paths, which is exactly the opposite for women how attend female only schools.
Cons:
- If you separate by gender, men and women can't learn from each other
- Isolating by gender will give people a different insight on the world
- "Girls cannot leave it to boys to dissect the frog, and boys can't leave it to girls to edit the newspaper."
- If you separate them, then you're avoiding the problem instead of facing it hands on
- Prepares them for the future
- It may not seem like the best thing for them at the time, but in reality, nothing is better
- High school is the foundation for the real world, so high school should be consistent with reality
- Better test scores-- why are they relevant?
- Is it proven that better test scores will set men and women up better in reality?
- There aren't any well-designed research that proves that single-sex education improves academic achievement
- There is good evidence that sex segregation increases gender stereotyping and "legitimizes institutional sexism"
Moderator:
- What do you guys think about the comparison of the gender organization and race organization?
- Pro and Con: The segregation issue is separate from gender organization
- Both sides agree that men and women are created equal, the gender organization isn't part of a race issue.
- Do you think co-ed education affects society and how people conduct themselves professionally?
- Pro: It takes out the whole "popularity" feel
- Con: Co-ed kind of tames men and women from acting out
- There isn't necessarily anyone you want impress in an all men/all women school
