Same Sex Schools vs Co-Ed Schools

Summary The government of Trinidad and Tobago has been proposing the idea to introduce more same co- tuition shallows. Co-education means boys and girls at tending the same school and sharing the same classrooms. Although, according to the article disciples who attend same get offual urge schools academically outperform those in co-educational schools, particularly female same sex schools. An seam concludes that co-educational schools help with the hidden curriculum of schools. Theoretical DiscussionEducation is one aspect of socialization it involves the acquisition of knowledge and the learning of skills, whether, intentionally or unintentionally, education often also helps to shape beliefs and moral values. (Haralambos 2004). The education system consist of a formal and a hidden curriculum, formal, being the standardized curriculum which professionals ar hired to relate the curriculum within a classroom setting and the hidden curriculum argon the social attitudes and values taught in school that touch on children to accept the requirements of adult life and to fit into the social, political and economic statuses the society provides.It is generally recognizedthat girls do better academically at single sex schools, as do boys. The theory is that because girls mature faster than boys and it can be difficult for t each(prenominal)ers to accommodate the differences in development rates in a co-education environment. different contributing factors are simply that there are fewer distractions for both boys and girls in a single sex environment.Another benefit of a single sex education is the freedom to make educational choices without worrying that you may be the only girl or boy in the class or the menace of judgment because you want to study traditionally masculine subjects like physics and technical drawing, or traditionally girly subjects like literature and home education. The question is are these single sex schools creating socially enabled person s? A co-educational environment maybe more reflective of society this is because it encourages competition between boys and girls.Both sexes naturally go away compete against each other in exams and that competitive spirit will encourage everyone to do their best. Also, it replicates basic opposite sex interaction which is unquestionably present and needed in society, therefore, they get a different perspective of things as well as learn to understand one another better. With the interaction in class, even the shyest student will feel comfortable with the opposite sex and can soon work together normally.Opinion In my view being in a co-education school does not mean socializing with the opposite sex only. It means that a student can maintain a balance when choosing friends and learn to treat everyone the same. Also, I really think being in a co-educational school promotes better behavior. Boys are naturally rough by nature and girls more gentle. When both sexes interact, the boys t end to tone down their behavior so that the girls will be friends with them.I feel that some boys in single-sex schools do not know how to behave when they meet girls. nigh act like hooligans or shy away when, in fact, if they were in a co-educational school, they would be above all that, given the exceptions. Therefore, I think that students from co-educational schools will be more mature and will be quicker to adept to society fulfilling the hidden curriculums with a slight dwindle on the formal curriculum.
