The Bizarre, misguided campaign to get rid of single sex classrooms

Same sex classroom debate-

Agree:

  • This allows people who are less well off to receive a specialized single sex education. 
  • Single sex schools allow each student taylor made education for each individual. 
  • These schools can specialize in math and science for girls to help encourage them into these fields because of the gender gap.
  • Some parents and children want same sex schools because they believe they learn better there, therefore they should have the option available to them.
  • Providing financial needs for students for economically disadvantaged.






Disagree:

  • Same sex are no different than racially segregated classrooms, just because certain boys need time management classes does mean they all need that. Not everyone is the same just because of their sex.
  • People should get an education for the content of their character not based of their sex. 


  • Same sex schools aren't always finically available to all students which can hinders them from going there.
  • ACLU launched a campaign that said teach kids not stereotypes, teaching students things such as, organization and self control just perpetuates the stereotypes that men aren't organized or that they can't control themselves. For girls it forces them to "dissect the frog" that reenforces the stereotype that girls don't want to participate in science. 
  • Enhances stereotypes based on sex. ACLU conducted a study that proves this.
