Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Write at least 250 words.


In most countries, single sex and mixed schools exist and it is up to the parents or the children to decide which model is better for them. There are opinions that it is effective to teach boys and girls in separate schools while some others believe that teaching the pupils together is a better way. However, I believe that both the models have their own benefits and drawbacks and it is up to the individual whether they are able to change the drawbacks into benefits.

Single sex schools offer great benefits. Firstly, there are no gender biases in the schools. For instance, a boy need not to feel awkward while choosing a cookery class and a girl might not feel weird to be part of the boxing club. This helps the individuals to grow and learn things that they love irrespective of other people’s opinion. Secondly, during the growing years a child experiences hormonal changes. Studying in a single sex school allows them to concentrate more on their studies.

On the other hand, many educationalist believe that mixed schools prepare children for their future lives. They help in growing a child emotionally and saves them from the awkwardness they might face in later years when have to work with the other gender. Even more, children learn a lot from each other in mixed schools and develop skills that could be beneficial for them in later years.
Personally, I have been to a mixed school and it has helped me in interacting in a better way with the opposite sex. However when I hear the stories of my friends who had been to single sex school, I even realize they had fun in a completely different way.

Overall, in my opinion, both the schools offer great learning and in the end it completely depends on the individual on how well they are able to grasp from the environment.
