Should Boys and Girls be Seperated in Schools?

    Did you know approximately 35% of all schools have separate classes based on gender? Many argue that having both genders in the same class could affect the way they learn. Some say they get to caught up in drama. But others argue that it's good for boys and girls to interact with each other, it is proven that females see differently then males. The three main reasons why genders should not be separated are because they can interact differently, kids achieve higher scores when put together, and because once they graduate school they have to work with all genders.
    It's no secret that boys and girls are different, when put together they can do more. Any brain has what's called "grey matter," which is another term for "thinking matter." It's also made of "white matter," this is what's also called "extending matter." But boys have 7 times more grey matter then girls, and girls have 10 times more white matter then boys, which is also why they mature faster. Girls typically have a more sophisticated view of things, while boys tend to focus on a certain thing. Both traits combined will result in a well-rounded education.
   It has been proven that when both genders are put together, they can achieve higher scores. André Boyd, a teacher at Johnson Middle School in California, states that "I've noticed that female classmates encourage unmotivated male students." If genders were separated, how would male students learn? It's not fair to just allow females to have a good education. This may not be true for all male students, but for the ones that do have trouble and need a female companion to help motivate them, how will that be done?
   Having separated genders will not teach the students how to work with all people after school. Once they graduate, they'll need to work with everyone, not just their gender. All across the globe, 134,704 jobs work with just one gender. What is the chance all the students from a single gender school will get a single gender job? There is a very slim chance. In fact, about 133,530 of those jobs are taken by disadvantaged people.
   In conclusion, having separated genders in school will not help anyone. All it will help is the drama in schools, which can easily be avoided with more guidelines from the school. Having co-ed schools can help pull grades up, have students more excited about learning, and teach them how to live life after school ends. How would you feel if you were in a single-gender school?
