Should boys and girls go to separate schools?

I was at a school today doing some work. To me it is shocking, and obvious that boys and girls do work in such a different manner.

I've really wonder if as a society we could enhance learning by separating children by sex until high school.

I know it is not very popular to even talk about separate sexes anymore, and maybe that is the NWO trying to keep us all down.
Here is one study, there are tons. This isn't opinion, there is actually something different happening in the brain. This is science.
Why are we not exploring this more?

By the way, I am in now way saying boys should be into math and girls into home ec. No way. I'm saying they should both be taught math, but in a different way, and both be taught home ec, in a different way.

Studies show that boys learn differently than girls. Brain scans tell part of the story. In general, more areas of girls' brains, including the cerebral cortex (responsible for memory, attention, thought, and language) are dedicated to verbal functions.

For those who aren't playing the fantasy game, it's obvious that boys and girls are different. It's also obvious that our current educational model is geared more toward the behavior one expects from little girls. So school is a fairly hostile place to little boys and the stats show it, especially in a society where fewer and fewer little boys are growing up with a male role model in their households who can teach them how men are supposed to behave in society.

I believe there is a highly successful all boys charter in Harlem, and their system is very different than traditional educational models.

Based on character configurations which vary greatly and cannot be generalized based on gender, the best education would be one that identifies students optimal learning style and automatically adjusts the curriculum to best meet each student's needs.

School should not be about gender differences or conflicts. School should be about learning. Here's a really excellent TED video on how to properly teach math:

Math class needs a make over

Sometimes I am really astonished by how smart smart people can be!

You'll get load of complaints from the trans community.. they'jj be demonstrating im every city trying to get it blocked.

This is exactly what i'm getting at. We are pumping our boys up with medication because they don't act like girls.
I also think around middle school age the differences disrupt learning on both sides. I'm not just talking about hormones either.

Sure why not, I might of learned something if I wasn't so busy chasing tail. Lol

Well.. relationships are made in schools..
So I bet your model would produce a huge amount of gay and lesbians.
And male and female would have a harder time bonding and understand each other.

They might do better in different classroom spaces with differing educational approaches though.

I think we do education completely backwards anyway. Who is or isn't in the same school or classroom makes practically no difference compared to the curriculum and the stubborn and rigid approach to education (and the way we think about kids in general).

The stuff we consider to be important to teach to children is only important if it actually benefits them in the long run. I think forcing them to do stuff that has little to no impact on their life in the real world is pointless. All this stuff with math and History and so forth. They can get into that in college if they're interested. They need to be taught life skills first. Maybe some basic math. Some of them will never need the (math) stuff they learn in high school in real life. And many kids end up on the streets because they didn't learn things that were more important (like good social skills and money management and so forth).

Most kids have strengths and weaknesses and school makes no real effort to inform them about their weaknesses and instead focuses on "leveling the playing field" for those who have problems. This won't help them when they go out into the real world where the competition is real and the competitors are serious and playing for keeps.

The "disadvantaged" are still going to be disadvantaged when they can't get a real job making a living wage because nobody ever sat them down and said "Look. You suck at math" or "Your memory and creativity just plain stinks" and "You're going to have to take a different path than the one your friends are taking or your life is gonna suck really hard because you have issues that they don't have and they're just plain smarter, faster and better at everything than you are".

no.

I'd honestly have to say no.

I have a buddy who went to an all boys school, and even now as an adult he struggles to speak to women.

He's told me this himself, and I've seen him around females, he doesn't know how to speak to them and frankly it's awkward.

He's a great lad though

my child went to a same sex high school, I have mixed emotions about it, yes there was less 'gender distraction' but lacked the gender interaction which humans also need, looking back and after talking to my child i don't think i would do the same again if i was making that choice.

Sounds like sharia law talk to me. Nothing wrong with mixed. Its kinda like saying put the dumb people together and the smarter ones together. If u want better education then send to a private school instead .

Just because they learn differently dont mean much.

I do realize that on many issues, I am kind of slow.

But, it also seems to me that our schools and education system has worked fairly well for all but the last thirty years or so.

I am not real sure what the cause of the current problems could be, even though I have my own opinions, but it would appear some people are just not thinking straight any more.

We should put children in boxes like they are tiny veals so they don't ever figure out anything about sex. See a tit? Loss your s***. Violence on the other hand? It's cool.

Yeah... I thought that too. Just another way for whoever it is who's doing it, to divide boys and girls and turn their heads with all this gay/lesbian rubbish. I don't know who's idea it was to begin this underage trend but I'm thinking it's got a lot to do with Paedo's and gays themselves in high places in education circles, media circles, film and TV circles

Boys and girls should be separated for educational purposes before high school, ie, less distraction or boys and girls being chastised or expelled for showing affection. For interaction between the sexes, schools should hold frequent social events involving both sexes.

I am sure there would quite a bit of opposition by feminists and the LGBT people.

I believe there's benefit (especially in elementary years) for boys and girls to learn together, especially how to communicate with one another. I can understand however in middle-school ages when biological changes causes the mental/social devolution to become a distraction while learning. In that case, it may be good for students to have a choice to go to a school where gender relations isn't an issue for a while. By junior-senior high school though, students should know how to properly relate to each other as preparation for the real world (jobs, marriage, children, etc.). A long winded answer for advocating learning together, but providing a choice when there's a problem.

Speaking from experience, my last 2 years in HS were at an all male high school, I can tell you that seperation of the sexes in school works far better for both (or however many).

Unfortunately the leftist educrats that run the Public Schools would never put up with it. Their default position is to hate the boys and having all boys schools would, in their minds advantage boys because they couldnt be subjugated and stereotyped as losers as easily as they can be in mixed school environments where they can be more easily marginalized.

Truthfully, in the present tribalist climate in the US, the best solution is to home school.
