Educational Issues

» inspirangel - Single Gender Schools

I was interested to read this article as there was a lot of debate in the media about this in the media a few years ago but I hadn't heard anything since.

Boys in particular were said to have benefitted from being educated seperately and away from the watchful, dare I say, critical gaze of teen girls!They showed more confidence and initiative in speaking up and chancing an answer.

I am not showing off here but I have a large family and all my kid were educated in single gender schools 11 - 17. They are all Grade A students ........what experiences do others have?

In response to Single Gender Schools posted by inspirangel:

You are correct that boys struggle more in school. They learn differently. Boys are sent to the principal's office more often than girls, receive more detentions, are more likely to drop out, and more likely have learning disabilities, and more likely to be in the resource room. This article talks a little about that. http://educationalissues.suite101.com/ar...

I'm glad that your children found education to be a good experience. Every child should. Barb
