Boys and girls should attend separate schools

[Aanca]

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.

This question is a hot topic for the parents who want the best for their children. Although many people will support the single-sex education, I strongly believe that the co-education is better because two main reasons: sociological and economical.

In the first place, the main purpose of education is to prepare an individual for the life as an adult, and in order to do so, a certain environment which looks like real life must be created. Boys and girls must understand their nature and this may be possible only with direct interaction between this two from an early age. For example, for a child who have attended a single-sex school it might be difficult to interact with the opposite sex; for this child a difference between friendship and relationship with the opposite sex is not very well established because it takes time and constant interaction to set limits between this two.

In the second place, with direct interaction the child can “shape” himself, boys can be less coarse and girls less melancholic. Boys and girls are very different, some would say that the differences are in brain, development; others would say that boys excel under stress and girls adapt more easily to a new language, but I think that this is not a good reason to make this segregation. I think that the coeducation is better because, regardless of the differences between sexes, a child has to understand them, interact with the other sex and realize that they have to function as a group, not as two different parts.

In the third place, from economical point of view, a large amount of money should be invested in order to have different schools for boys and girls. For a poor country, where there is a school at every two or three towns, the single sex education is not applicable.

To summarize, I think that the best education that a child could have is in the coeducational system because it prepares him better for his future life.

thank you all for you comments; it makes me feel more confident in myself, especially because my exam is in less than two weeks.
thank you again

Good essay, however I have some points that I disagree.
1. The main purpose of education is not to prepare an individual for the time he/she become adult - the main purpose is to educate people to face a world full of challenges, even when they are children. Children must learn to be able to explore their abilities in order to give their contributions to this world. Sometimes we need to teach how the children have to deal with problems in their society, problems like rape, racism, and to explain them what's going on in their mind.
2. "a large amount of money should be invested in different schools for boys and girls" - you are contradicting your position.
3. Sorry if I'm being rude. Anyway your essay is interesting.

This question is a hot topic for the parents who want the best for their children. Although many people will support the single-sex education, I strongly believe that the co-education is better because (OF) two main reasons: sociological and economical.

In the first place, the main purpose of education is to prepare an individual(OUR INDIVIDUALITY, individual is an adjective) for the life as an (RESPONSIBLE)adult( IN THE FUTURE), and in order to do so(ACHIEVE THIS GOAL), a certain (SOCIAL) environment which looks like real life must be created. Boys and girls must understand their nature and this may be possible only with direct interaction between this (THESE) two from an early age. For example, for a child who have (HAS) attended a single-sex school it might be difficult to interact with the opposite sex; for this child a difference between friendship and relationship with the opposite sex is not very well established(UNDERSTANDABLE) because it takes time and constant (SOCIAL/DIRECT)interaction to set limits between this(THESE) two. (it is not actually a brilliant idea to set/impose limit)

In the second place, with direct interaction the child can “shape” himself (SHAPE UP), boys can (WOULD/WILL) be less coarse and girls less melancholic. Boys and girls are very different, some would(MIGHT) say that the differences are in brain, development; (HOWEVER,)others would say that boys excel under stress and girls adapt more easily to a new language, but I think that this is not a good reason to make this segregation. I think that the coeducation is better because, regardless of the differences between sexes, a child has to understand them, interact with the other sex (THE OPPOSITE SEX/ BOTH SEX) and realize that they have to function as a group, not as two different parts.

In the third place, from economical point of view, a large amount of money should (MIGHT) be invested (SPENT) in order to have different schools for boys and girls. For a poor country, where there is a school at every two or three towns, (HAVING) the single sex education is not applicable (ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE).

To summarize, I think that the best education that a child could have is in the coeducational system because it prepares him better for his future life.
(To summarize, I believe that the best educational system that children could have is the coeducational one because it will definitely prepare them in order to have a bright future.)

HI.
thanks a lot "Tomasito" for this point. She actually contradicted his own view at last and she didn't even compare these two different approaches, she were expected to mention the advantages and disadvantages of two education systems.

[Tomasito]

It's obvious that to study in coeducational system is better than a segregate system. So I don't know why certain cultures, muslim community for example insisted to use the separate system. This century is shaped by transformations, where the old prejudices are forgoten, the ties of all cultures are being linked. The segregation system suggest that men and women are completly different and it creates problems like those we see in muslim countries. In Saudite Arabia, a woman cannot drive a car, cannot talk whith a strange man in the street. In Sudan is crime when a woman is sight using trousers.

Hi Tomasito.
Thanks for expressing your opinion. pretty good. you are really everywhere. moreover, your genuine interest in English is admirable and you are really diligent.
I hope that you won't be upset with me, if I tell you should be careful about your structure in writing.
you have to use adjective before noun: for example:
a segregate system=a segregated system.( and segregation system=?) and...

Let me know whether you have any suggestions or you suppose that I'm wrong.

Well I prefer to say that you are right, that's because you seem to be a native speaker of English. I'm english learner and it's mean that I have to accept when someone correct me. And you are free to correct my mistakes. According to what you said "We use adjective before noun" therefore segregated system = segregation system. We cannot say "segregate system" because segregate is a verb, and it doesn't make sense. I think you are right, Richard.
