Topic: Gender-separated schools

1) Introduction: Background Information, Context & Thesis Statement (Persuasive Claim)

From time immemorial we have been told the importance of early and secondary education to children, as a
humanitarian figure Nelson Mandela said: "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change
the world". Yes, it is true that the expression he said but does the existing education system, separated by
gender education work to form the next generation that can communicate well to everyone and not
discriminate against another gender? First of all, let's find out what gender-separated schools are. Gender-
separated schools, the tradition of carrying out schooling with male and female students attending different
classes, possibly in separate buildings or schools, is also known as single-gender education and gender-
isolated education. This is followed by the journal Science published a study deeply critical of gender-
segregated schooling, arguing that the movement towards single-sex education "is deeply misguided, and
often justified by weak, cherry-picked, or misconstrued scientific claims rather than by valid scientific
evidence ".

Main Point #1 + Elaboration + Justification & Link to Claim (We live in a community where genders
are not kept separate from one another)

When they enter the modern world, the school setting is a place where students experience what life will be
like. Then there is the development of false aspirations for life afterwards if you segregate classes by
gender. The typical office in opposite corners does not allow men and women to operate. For everyone,
there is an expectation to work together. Schools providing a classroom layout of the same gender do not
allow students the chance to focus on this important social ability. Students who come from a single-sex
college background, face an adjustment period, because of this drawback, they begin their vocation.
Accordingly, unconstitutional segregation between genders could not be tolerated in schools as well.
Gender-separated schools are often claimed to facilitate gender stereotyping. The possibility for boys and
girls to work together is often diminished by single-sex schooling. Men and women are expected to work
together in the working world, so boys and girls must learn how to work in school together at a young age.
One of the most opposition arguments is that not all boys are masculine and not all girls are famine, so
children who are not considered the average are not helped by dividing depending on the norm. Single-sex
education is patriarchal. Some study has also shown that a higher number of girls and boys in a class will
mitigate distractions and tend to build stronger connections between both students and teachers as well.
With state expectations, exam scores, and reporting cards continually on the mind of an instructor, it can be
tempting to concentrate exclusively on training students for the next grade or next year. Strong teachers,
however, know that teaching is more than just that, it's about training students to become individuals who
are well-rounded and well-educated. We both want our students to grow up and be happy. However, wealth
and fame are not the only means of achievement when it comes to school. Parents and teachers alike are
constantly learning how to mould and turn their children into the strongest versions of themselves, ready to
take on the world of intellect, empathy and compassion. Encouraging young children to talk about and
interact well with others strengthens these values and encourages students to be more optimistic in life, not
only as a businessman or a woman but as a person who is kind to others and mindful of disparities between
individuals.
