Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of coeducational schools.
Boy schools and girl schools shoot up very rapidly both in foreign countries
and at home. In my country, girl schools have enjoyed a very long history
since one hundred years ago. Many sociologists and educationalists present
their views on this issue from different angles. There are some advantages
and disadvantages of this controversial phenomenon in different countries
with different cultural, social, and religious backgrounds.
Some parents prefer to send their children to boy schools or girl schools in
the hope that their children can concentrate on study and acquire adequate
knowledge and skills because in these schools they can make out
appropriate curriculum and courses for students according to their gender
characteristics. In some girl schools, students have a wider choice of courses
such as music, embroidery, and drawing, which can cultivate their feminine
elegance and charm. Furthermore, students can devote themselves fully to
their study and will not be distracted. Boy schools and girl schools can
eradicate contact between different genders and purify the campus
environment.
On the other hand, some experts point out that boy schools and girl schools
are not beneficial to the adolescent development of students. They believe
that boys or girls are likely to develop their abilities and stimulate their
imagination when they are studying with each other. Besides, students can
cultivate their interpersonal skills. Some other people think that separating
boys from girls can cause some psychological problems to youngsters.
Meanwhile, this separation affects social progress and leads to the lack of
understanding each other. Investigation shows that graduates from separate
schools are not aware how to get along with their colleagues in their career.
To sum up, everything has double folds. Separate schools are of no
exception. From my point of view, I think the existence of separate schools
meets the need of some parents. But it is definitely not a paradise for their
children.
