Same Sex Classrooms arguments

Pro Article- Andrew Elston

  • Point of school to prepare you for life, life has males and females so its counterintuitive.
  • A person will not learn the necessary social skills for life.
  • If you spend a long period of time with the same gender everyday, you miss out on social interactions and social skill of everyday life.

Against Article- Abigail Halter
  • Not the same as total segregation
  • They do not teach stereotypes, boys exist outside of all girls schools and vice versa.
  • Should go to Co-Ed schools until 7th grade then to a gender segregated school
  • Plenty of research and evidence (test scores) that show gender segregated schools work
Counter Arguments- Both
  • Test scores do not define you as a person or your intelligence.
  • Its a personal preference, depends on how you learn best.
Moderater: Anna Czelusniak
  • Does it benefit one gender over another?
