TFK Response: Do Boys and Girls Learn Better Apart?

A recent article of Time For Kids that we read in class featured two differing opinions about schools.

The question was: Do Boys and Girls Learn Better Apart?

What do you think?

Please write a 4-5 sentence explanation expressing your opinion. If you think all boys/girls schools would help your learning tell why. If you think that all boys/girls school does not affect your learning, explain why also.

I think that you should go to a boys and girls school because in life outside of school there are boys and girls. If you aren’t experienced with being with different types of people it’s going to be hard because world is full of different types of people. Being with girls doesn’t affect my learning abilities.

I think they do very well together. Boys and girls work realy well together.I think that if they work together,they'll come up with great ideas.So therefore,boys and girls should go to school together.

I think they should stay with boys and girls school s because if the boys went to an all boys school the boys would talk to their friends to much and I think the same way with girls. I also think some boys should go to an all boys school because they might not react the same way with girls.

If there was a school for girls and a school for boys I would never realy get to see my cousin Victoria again. So I think its fine with me if girls and boys go to scool together. Oh, and no it doesn't affect my life or my learning.

I think you could learn better with the same gender, because there would not be as much talking. I also think that they could learn better together because they have girls and boys as friends.

Kate said...

I think boys and girls should be at the same school. I think this because some people like me would get split apart from friends. Also it’s nice to have a mix. I like school the way it is.

Chloe said...

I think boys and girls can do fine together. I don’t think boys and girls should be split apart. I don’t think it affects girls and boys learning. Also you would probably get tired of seeing boys or girls all the time.

Alexa said...

I think that it is better for girls and boys to go to same school, because they are able to interact with each other. Also, when we get older it would be easier to interact with boys and girls.

Rachael said...

I think that boys and girls can be in the same school because then they can play together and then they can work out differences better and learn together. I think that boys and girls can work better together. If you were in an all Girls or all Boys classrooms there would be more distractions because girls would always talk to the other girls and boys would always talk to the other boys.

Riley said...

I think they should keep boys and girls together so that boys don`t just talk in class. It wont affect my grades at all.

Trevor said...

I think if there was an all boys class there would be louder in the class and harder to stay focus because all the boys would want to talk to one another. It also doesn’t make a difference to me because I don’t care if there are girls in my class because half my family is made up of girls. Girls make it much easier to pay attention.

Tyler said...

It would not affect me because boys and girls in the same classroom don’t affect my grades. I think an all boy’s school for me would be boring, because sometimes girls are fun to be around!

Adam said...

I think if boys and girls were separated in school when their older and they work together it might fell weird because they didn’t go to school together. So I think they should go to school together

Taylor said...

I think boys and girls need to be separated, because we learn better apart. My reason is I looked at a video on you tube and it shows that kids work better apart. Girls with girls. Boys with boys!

Nolan said...

No. I think that boys and girls and should be in the same school. They could share deferent ideas.

Lucas said...

I think girls and boys should go to school together because you can get different ideas from both genders and on different positions. Later in life if you had been going to a school where boys and girls are separated you will not know how to interact together. By Lucas

I think boys and girls should go to the same school because I think they work better together ,also if girls went to all girls school and boys went to all boys school the boys would talk too much and get too wiled and same with girls. Plus being and working around boys dose not affect my learning.

Quinn said...

I think boys and girls should be in the same school together because they won't talk as much. And there would be groups with girl and boys will be in the same group and they will focus more. If the boys wen't to all boys school they would talk to there friends and the girls would do the same.

Emma said...

I think boys and girls learn better seperated because boys and girls might get destracted by eachother. This is more true in middle school and high school.This is also true because girls aren't embarest to show how smart they are.

Caroline S said...

NO, boys and girls do not learn better apart. Learning together is a chance to interact with each other. Some friends are boys and some are girls.It dose not matter if you are a girl and you have friend is a boy. It is ok to have a partner that is a boy (or other way around.)That is what I think of it

I think it is better for boys and girls to go to the same school. In my book kids need to ineraket with each other.
