DISCUSSION ESSAY

Nowadays we can find schools only for one gender. However, there are arguments both for and against it.

One of the main advantages of teaching separately is that students obtain better results. Boys and girls have different methods of learning so all the class can go at the same beat. Another argument in favour is that they, students, aren't so distracted as if they were all together. Boys tend to be distracted by girls, and vice versa.

On the other hand, schools for both genders teach students not only maths or history but how to live with the other sex. This way, students are prepared for the real world. In a world where men and women live and work together, shoulder to shoulder ... (unfinished sentence). Moreover, in mixed school there is more competition, to see which gender is the best in certain things.

On balance, I would say that although girls and boys learn quicker separately, they must be together in order to get used to situations they will face in the future.

Well done John
