Come on! I am always in favor of coed education,but I don't know why u choose me to the group that is against the coed education.Even after the debate ,I am still in favor of the coed education.Like Ahmet ,Xiaowu,Sara said ,we can learn how to get along with both girls and girls.Although I said that we can get along with girls after school,it is only for the debate.Because as we all know without class,we almost have no chances to make friends with girls out of school.(fortunately,these guys didn't consider that in the debate).Whatever ,I am in favor of the coed education.
Before the debate I was pretty sure that coed schools is the best environment to teach boys how to socialize and manage topics related with the opposite sex, but during the debate the other group has supported well the fact that single sex schools can provide other kind of environment regard the class room where boys and girls can get used to interact with each other. The statistics they have showed have changed a little bit the way I used to think about single-sex schools for boys.
Before the debates started, I was convinced that the co-ed schools are the better option because they promoted the interaction between boys and girls. I think this interaction could be an excellent way to eliminate the sexual segregation, and this is an important topic in the actual society; however, after hearing the arguments in the debate, especially in which Caglar talked, I believe this controversial topic needs to be studied with more resources in an unbiased and critical way that helps us to understand what is better for the development of children. This study need to consider many aspects like socioeconomic, academic, and emotional achievement because just with equilibrium among this three aspects we are capable to have better individuals in the future, who can explode the maximum of their capacities.
In my case I'm still in favor of co-education, as an opportunity to deal with differences between genres and whatever it involves. However, considering the arguments of pro single for boys were well based and structured, I believe that the teachers should be trained in order to bring strategies for class, instead of just dividing groups of male and female.
In my opinion, after the debate I still support for co-education because this is a very good environment for boys and girls in learning and sharing to each other. In fact, they have well-preparation for their work place in the future , they will deal with many opposite partners. There are many benefits when boys and girls in the same class , they both support and encourage together.
Personally, after the debate, I am still favor coeducation. Even thought opposite side (Chi, Jhonny and Ozgur) said that girls and boys can share outside school, I continue thinking that the best place to learn how to work together cooperatively on projects and assignments is the school. Also, when studying together, they get different experiences how can learn from different ways. In addition, they are not limited to learn only the way their brains operate. I think teachers should be trained to use the necessary techniques that permit girls and boys learn without separate them.
For me, i was in favor of single-sex education and still am, i know that not only the Co-ed system has flaws and disadvantages, but single-sex does also have some, but at the end it all sums up to which is better in an overall way, for me i did not find a debate that made me change my mind, despite being on a Pro Co-ed system, but i still think that school is a place to learn and be educated not to socialize or have relationships, especially teenagers should focus more on their courses because these last three years are the ones that decide his future to be a physician or just a high school graduate if he\she was lucky.
" i know that not only the Co-ed system has flaws and disadvantages, but single-sex does also have some." Although I know that both the coed and single-sex system have their flaws and disadvantages, in the end...
From my very subjective point of view, before the debate, I was in favor of co-education because I myself enjoyed this learning environment a lot. However, when the issue was raised, listening to many different ideas, I started to open my mind to the other side. It makes sense that many girls and boys can benefit from a teaching method that is exclusively designed for them. Moreover, in single sex school, girls can be more exuberant towards their studies, and boy can focus more on their learning.
Nevertheless, girls are different from boys, and a girl or a boy is also different from another. What I want to say is no matter which educational system is chosen, it should depend on each child's characteristics. Children spend most of their time at school. Maybe if a child is introvert, studying in a class with the same gender can help him/her blossom in regard to academic achievement. On the other hand, an extrovert may need a more diversified environment to develop all of their social skills, which are also important for their later life.
Thus, if there were some single-sex classes in the public education system, it would be easier for parents to decide what fits their children's abilities more. It's not like which system is better, the question should be which one is more appropriate to each individual's nature and development inclination.
No at all, the debates didn't change my thoughts. It's not easy to change thoughts which you have for along time in a couple of days. Also this what we have absorbed from our culture and our community, it's not easy to leave this behind us. So if I want to change an old thoughts in someone he or she need more convincing and more time. That's what I do as a psychologist I need at least 2 months to change my patients thoughts, and to take off the thoughts from the roots.
Since I saw how outstanding my sister was, I have believed that single sex school is better for girl. However, as my own experience, I think boys indeed need girls' company to mitigate and develop their behaviors in certain age. As a weird result, I think that coed school is better for boys, but not for girls. That is why I said men are incomplete creature and women are our saver. I still think the same after the debate.
I have always been in favor of coed. Actually, I have studied in coed all my life and the advantages of being in a mix environment where you can learn from your experiences and also learned from the other gender's way of thing is kind of amazing to me. My position before and after the debates haven't change at all. However, I can tell that I could find some interesting aspects of single sex education. I was impressed when I have to find facts in my debates that support Coed because most of the sources and the statistics were in favor of Single sex. However, of course I found what I need it to do my debate. I learned some different points of view of this topic and the opposite information almost convince me. I believe that is my whole experience with this debate.
In my opinion, I believe that coed schools provide the best education for children. On the other hand,I have to admit that I almost changed my opinion after reading the pros of single sex schools, specially for women. The fact that girls feel no pressure without boys and that is easier to bloom in scientific areas, made me doubt for a moment, but I think that the bloom of a girl, either in single sex or co-ed schools, depends on their personal motivation and self steem.

ReplyDeleteIs there a lot of socializing going on in Chinese schools? I'll be surprised if you tell me that there is.

ReplyDeleteGreat. I'm glad that you were open-minded enough to consider the opposing point of view.

This writing is amazing. You are fluent in English. Many native speakers cannot write this well. You are certainly ready for the university.
DeleteAlso, I like the way that you incorporated the vocabulary from the unit into your writing.

ReplyDeleteOkay, so I'm going to ask you the same question again in 2 months. LOL

ReplyDeleteSo do you think if you had a girl you would send her to a single-sex school but if you had a boy you would send him to a co-ed school?
Deleteyes!
