Fight Club: Misguided Campaign to Get Rid of Single-Sex Classroomms

For (Loftus)
  1. All girls feel more comfortable and confident to answer questions because guys won't make fun of them
  2. Gives girls no pressure if there are no guys (even the shy ones)
  3. If girls learned better in an all girls environment they then would be more comfortable when put into situations with men
  4. Single-sex schools should also be public rather than only private because some less fortunate families cannot pay the price of private schools
  5. Stereotyping of genders are toned down, everyone is free to speaking their mind
  6. The way the teacher teaches the class would benefit each gender, how the class is organized
  7. Putting developing teenagers into same-sex schools will give them confidence to interact with their own gender before the other gender (i.e. such as making same-sex friends and then starting a relationship with someone)
Against (Hanson)
  1. School is supposed to prepare you for real life, and in real life you are not only going to be secluded to your own gender group
  2. Competition makes people work harder, which in turn, benefits them
  3. Shouldn't  matter what gender people are learning with, also it could be discriminating to only be with one gender
  4. Same-sex students may not know how to interact with the other gender later on in life in some situations
  5. There is more competition in gym classes if they are co-ed (people want to impress each other)
  6. All guy classrooms could be rowdier than if they were co-ed classes
  7. Less talking, act smarter, want to impress the opposite sex
