A for and against essay by Sònia Mir

GIRLS AND BOYS SHOULD BE TAUGHT SEPARATELY

In some schools girls and boys are taught separately. However, there are arguments both and against it.

One of the main advantages of being together is that boys and girls are a good influence on each other because they are very different. Another argument in favor is that it prepares them for the real world. So when they grew up, and they will be adults they will be in a mixed society.

On the other hand, if they are in the same classroom they can easily be distracted. It is due to the fact that they are very young and emotionally changeable. Moreover, boys and girls prefer socializing with their own gender. Thus, girls usually go together in the break time and they spend time talking about boys while boys play some sport.

In conclusion, I would say that although boys and girls can distract themselves, it's better that they are taught together.
