Plese read my essay~~Much appreciate!
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Boys and girls should attend separate schools. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
A lot of parents have come across a dilemma that whether they should send their children to separate schools. Some people may prefer single-sex schools. However I definitely believe that co-educational schools are better because they create a desirable environment where students can communicate with the opposite sex, develop a well-rounded character and the cost of education will be cut as well.
First, by attending a co-educational school, it is easy for boys and girls to communicate with each other and develop the ability of cooperation. As we know, the main purpose of education is to lay the foundation for students before they enter society. Therefore schools should provide an environment which looks like our real life in which communication and cooperation skills are highly valued. On the contrary, in a single-sex school, students will lose the opportunity to talk with the opposite sex. In the future, they may find themselves hard to get along with the opposite sex, not to mention making cooperation.
In addition, interaction is helpful to shape a well-rounded character. It is well known that there are distinctions between sexes. Boys can learn consideration and flexibility from girls while teaching them braveness and fortitude. Otherwise, boys may be more accustomed to solve problems in violent ways. Meanwhile girls may turn to be more fragile,hardly facing frustrations.
What’s more, co-education is not only valuable from the sociological aspect, it also can save money and resources. For instance, if the authorities want to build separated schools, they need to double their inputs such as more land, more related facilities as well as more staffs. Perhaps it’s not a serious problem for rich nations, but how about thinking of some poor African countries? I cannot figure out the necessity to build separated schools in some impoverished nations or regions.
To sum up, in order to improve communication, shape character and save money, I strongly believe that boys and girls should attend the same school.Sure, I don’t deny that teachers should take specific methods to different sexes. However when we come to the true meaning of education, people should put that how well students will adapt to society and to what extent they will improve their personalities in the first place.
