Wayoi.Com - Today there are range debates regarding with single sex education. Most research already proves that students in single-sex education are more likely to success. Although studying in single-sex education gives a lot of advantages, I argue that boys and girls should not be educated separately. There are three main reasons why single-sex education is not a good choice.

Firstly, single-sex education does not prepare students for the real life. In the real life there are two different sexes namely women and men. Absolutely they have to interact with one another. Children will never learn to interact normally with the opposite gender if they are separated during school hours. In addition, single-sex education inhibits the ability of students to understand the nature of different sex. Besides that, it limits their opportunity to work cooperatively with the opposite sex.

Secondly, in terms of mental development, single-sex education may effects students to have a sexual distortion. It happen because students are surrounded by the same sex most of the time. Consequently, it leads students to feel comfortable with the same sex, and then they would have interest in one another.

Finally, academically, single-sex education would not improve student’s performance. High academic performance can be achieved by learning among mix genders. Boys and girls have different perspectives. However, the different perspectives combination among mix genders would enrich student’s knowledge; for example, through group discussion in which the groups are consists of boys and girls.

Based on the reasons above, I strongly believe that the children should not be educated in single-sex education. The parents are needed to think further for the children’s development, and the government should restrict the development of single-sex education.
