What Do You Think?

Separate Boys and Girls?

The U.S. Department of Education recently decided to relax the rules for creating all-boys and all-girls schools and classes. Some educators think kids learn better in classes that include only boys or girls. Others feel that boys and girls learn best when they interact with each other. What do you think? Should boys and girls be educated separately?

Yes

Boys and girls should be separated in school because sometimes [when they are together] they can't concentrate and can't do their work. [Having separate classes] can allow kids to concentrate better and more can get done.

No

I don't think boys and girls should be separated because they can be really good friends. They should not be separated just because they are different. It would be boring without girls in class.
