Single Sex Education
Single sex education consists of separating males and females and putting them in different classrooms or buildings in order to teach them differently. This type of schools relieves some of the pressure that parents have due to the stories they hear about the kids in co-education schools. Single sex education is psychologically, educationally and socially more effective than co-education due to scientific researches that have been held over more than a 100 elementary schools.
Many people look at the idea of single sex schooling as a negative way of teaching. They actually don’t look at all the facts that have been proven scientifically. Scientific researches have concluded that there are brain differences between both boys and girls. They both need different teaching styles that will benefit each one academically in a specific way. For example, in an only-girls class, talking and discussing is used as a learning tool which results in an observation. While in a boy’s class, talking mainly results in a punishment. Other studies by David Chadwell have also proven that “The composition of the male eye makes it attuned to motion and direction.” Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space”, he says (as mentioned in Kaufmann, C.,n.d., para.4). This is why its suggested that the teacher should keep moving while explaining to keep them concentrated. However, girls are oriented towards shapes with a lot of details so to get their attention; the teacher sits them in a circle. David Chadwell also stated that the male eye is attracted to cool colours like blue, silver, grey, brown and black, while the female eye is attracted towards warm colours like red, yellow and orange. In addition to the sight, they also hear differently. “Girls have a more finely tuned aural structure; they can hear higher frequencies than boys and are more sensitive to sounds,”(as mentioned in Kaufmann, C., n.d.. para. 7) for example, girls get annoyed when a teacher
