...“Thanks again for helping out with my homework!”, you wave goodbye to your best friend. Some of your other friends wonder why the two of you always hang out considering the fact that you’re opposite genders, but really, how different boys and girls can they be? Many people wonder if girls and boys can be friends, or if boys and girls learn better in separate classrooms? Numerous of schools are now debating whether to have mixed gender classes or single-sex classes. (ink.niche) Schools should have all classes be coed classes because it helps students focus, allows students to open up, and helps their future. Having coed classes helps students learn. From the article “Boys and Girls Together” (responsiveclassroom.org), Anna Foot, a consulting teacher says students like being paired up with the opposite gender for assignments because it allows them to focus more. Since some of the students don’t usually talk to the other gender, then there’s nothing to talk about which creates less distractions leading to better concentration. In addition to that, if all students are required to work with the other gender, then there would be less rumors of boy-girl action because everyone will be working with the other gender. From the article “Debate: Do Students Learn Better in Single-Sex Schools?” (www.nea.org) , Andre Boyd, a middle school...

...According to the 2007-2008 Private School Universe Survey 96% of private schools are coeducational. Only 1.8% of girls and 2.2% of boys are educated in single sex schools. Ever think of what it would be like to go to an all girls’ school? Well, here at Notre Dame Academy there are 600 girls and no boys. The controversy of same sex education is argued extensively. After considering both sides of the admitting boys to Notre Dame Academy will only hinder the education of the girls, despite of the National statistics. One of the arguments for why boys should be admitted to Notre Dame deals with the fact that the world outside of Notre Dame’s walls, consist of boys and girls. Teenagers will need to learn how to work and study in a world that represents what they will confront after high school. Although students need to learn how to work in the real world, single sex high schools allow the students to remain more focused. Students face many distractions and many of those distractions are affiliated with the opposite sex. Some of those distractions include trying to impress a boy or grab his attention. Because of an all girl school, students do not have to worry about what they wear or how they look. Another distraction can be drama. Generally, this drama can be about which boy likes which girl, who talked to whom, who goes out with whom, and who said what about that girl and that boy. These events seem to take on a life of their own and serve as the primary distraction from classes...

...Sociology/ 1201 SOC Due to research the possible new format of schools should be single sex because it has been found that “girls attending girl’ schools were significantly more likely to attend a 4-year college compared to girls attending co-ed schools” (Single-sex vs. Coed). In the same article it shows that girls and boys scored higher on Florida Comprehensive Assessment test. The girls proficient score were “coed-59% and single-sex- 86%” and the boys proficient scores were “coed-37% and single-sex-75%” (Single-Sex vs. Coed). This proves that the children learn better when they are in single-sex classrooms. Students in interviews shared that they felt more “comfortable and at ease in single-sex classrooms” (Single-Sex vs. Coed). In recent media broadcastings America has heard numerous incidents that involved suicides due to bullying in the coed schools. Parents in America are in turmoil worrying how to stop the bullying. In the same research article “Single-Sex vs. Coed” researchers interviewed boys that were not involved in sports which are “gender-atypical boys that usually experience bullying in coed schools the boys stated that this was not an issue in the single-sex schools” (Single-Sex vs. Coed). Single- sex schools could be the way to eliminate bullying in schools. One theory that makes this argument clear is the Conflict theory. Single-sex classrooms would teach girls that economically they do not have to be dependent on men. This could also help in the manner...

...their beliefs and desires will insecure and confused about themselves and the future (Berger 2007). This stage was extremely important in my life because as a child growing up I was a very shy and quiet girl. My brother was my idol and I wanted to be just like him. I had friends in school, but those friends remained my friends from 1-8th grade. I did not like change or new environments; I was hard for me to transition because I was very timid and felt uncomfortable in new environments. As a result my parents sent me to a Catholic High School, and it was not coed. This transition into a single gender high school may have been the best decision my parents have made. It completely transformed me. I was not longer shy and timid or confused about who I was. I was able to express myself amongst my peers and felt a sense of liberation between school and society. I do not think I would be the person I am today if I went to a coed high school. I became much less...

...MGMT 701 Case Study: Dana Hall: Funding a Mission (A) Henry Durant, founder of Wellesley College in 1870 believed “young girls were ill prepared to take advantage of the academic experiences offered”1. An all-girls preparatory, Dana Hall, was born out of a vision and generosity2. Dana Hall developmental timeline1: * 1881: Opened under the leadership of the Eastman sisters who retired in 1899. * 1899 -1951: The school was bought and was under the directorship of Helen Temple Cooke; she shaped * Dana Hall into a well-known and widely respected academic institution firmly committed to its mission as a girls’ boarding school. * 1955: Cooke died; However she had owned an association of four schools: Tenarce (Coed K-6), Pine Manor Junior College ( 2 year post-secondary), Dana Hall (Boarding School for girls 10-12 and Dana Junior (Boarders 8-9) * 1971: Dana Hall was restructured and now served both the boarders and day students 9-12 Founded on vision and generosity the school did not seek contributions and by the mid-eighties started having financial difficulties and more or less was just managing its operational budget1. Along with the financial challenges the school had both internal and external challenges: there was the issue of leadership retention: three headmistress in four years which resulted in de-stabilization and created rifts among faculty, administration and the board of trustees1. There was also substantial shrinkage in the applicant pool;...

...Blake David Don Carey English 1301-23 September 1st, 2015 Killing: Nurture or Nature? Sometimes considered disgusting, cruel, terrible, or unforgivable, serial killers could arguably have a reason for their madness. Beaten as a child, raped, or even for left to die could spark what could soon become disastrous. Some serial killers do it for the fun of it, but for the most part they do it because of a poor childhood and upbringing. This is what some believe to be the reasons for the killings done by The Coed Killer, Edmond Kemper. After his conviction of killing ten people, prosecutors then found the real reason of the horrific murders. Seen as a gentle giant by some, Kemper was all but that. Kemper was born in Burbank, California, the middle child and only son born to Edmond Kemper Sr. and Clarnell Stage. As a child Kemper was very smart but showed signs of antisocial behavior such as cruelty to animals. At age thirteen, he reportedly stabbed his pet cat multiple times before cutting its head off and placing it on a stick for all of his friends to see. He also made his sisters’ dolls do bizarre sexual rituals after taking off their heads. Kemper was close to his father and was devastated when his parents divorced in 1957. He was then raised by his mother in Helena, Montana. She was a violent alcoholic who publically humiliated and verbally abused him. Kemper ran away from home in 1963 in search of his father in Van Nuys, California. When he found him he then learned that...

...Woody Mason Hanging out at the Circus For my observation I went to a circus that the Middle and High Scholars hosted to kick off their spring play Barnum. I would have to say it was a mini circus. They had plenty of cotton candy, candy apples as well as popcorn for the young boys and girls. There were bouncing houses and fun mirrors and lots of clowns walking around. A few of the things I got to see was a breaded woman, tallest man, and smallest woman. Below are a few other observations I had while at the Circus. Upon walking around there were several clicks that consisted of boys and girls, just girls and all boys. Each group had their own communication styles. The groups with just boys or girls had good eye contact however the coed groups had very little eye to eye contact. Each group had lots of hand movements and head motions. Several of the kids were chatting on their phones and most of the girls were constantly texting the whole time. The boys did not have many facial expressions but the girls smiled and laughed a lot while constantly putting their fingers through their hair. A few social behaviors and attitudes displayed would have been when majority of the kids spoke at once continuously interrupting each other. In the group with all girls they displayed some snobbish behavior by ignoring a younger girl that tried to join in. Most of the junior high girls were sharing fries and drinks while the boys had their own. A few of the boys exhibited good manors...

...Ant 112 5/13/15 (1746 Words) Single or Multi-sex?? We all know the obvious difference in boys and girls. Typically, we associate boys with being rougher than girls and spending much of their time playing rambunctiously and getting dirty while most girls prefer to be subdued and tidy. But is that the only dissimilarity in gender? What about school work and academic performance along with academic success? Can gender be a predominating factor in determining a child’s IQ level? Is there a legitimate difference in boys and girls when determining academic ability? And, does gender help determine any level of academic success? Some might say that these are some pretty absurd questions but others who have taught both boys and girls in any realm of subjects, on any level could tell you that there is probably some relevance to that question. Lets begin with the history of single sex schools. Schools in early 17th century America were first modeled after English learning institutions after Puritans immigrated over to the English colonies. Originally only rich white males were allowed to attend school to learn how to read and write. In many cases, most parents placed their boys into the nine month long curriculum to keep them out of mischief. For the other three months of the year, students would be released from school during the summer months to lend a hand on their family’s farms to help cultivate the land and raise animals. During the summer months, wealthy white girls attended...

...cheerleading is competitions, there are different types of competitions. Depending on the team, they go and compete at the level they are able to compete at. The levels are different depending on the team as well. School cheering is mainly based off of the size of the team. In high school cheering there's small, medium, large or super large which is based on how many people they have on the team and there is also junior varsity or varsity which the school places them on based on skill level. In college cheerleading there is coed, which is boys and girls, there is all girl which is just all girl, also just like high school there's small, medium, large or super large, college also has international level teams which compete against other countries. Allstar is based off of levels, the levels are one, two, three, four, five, and sometimes six. Levels start the easiest at one and get harder the higher up you go. Each level has certain skill requirements. They also have coed or all-girl just like college cheering as well as international teams. All of these different teams compete with teams that fall into the same category they are in. They are all scored based off of different scoring sheets made specifically for their division. There are certain competitions any team cannot just go to, they have to qualify by surpassing a certain score. If they pass the score they get accepted to go to the higher level competition but they can also get a bid. A bid pays partial or everything for the team...

...of Blanket Hill near the Pagoda of Taylor Hall, twenty-eight Guardsmen turned around 180 degrees, walked back a few steps, and opened fire into the group located in the parking lot. Sixty-one shots were fired in thirteen seconds. In Columbus, Sylvester Del Corso, Adjutant General of the Ohio National Guard, insisted that the Guard had to shoot after a sniper, opened fire against the troops. Controversy surrounds this tragic event, as there is no clear evidence of the sniper shootings. Students are saying that there was no sound of guns firing before the Guard opened the fire against the students. Robinson Memorial Hospital identified the dead students as Allison Krause, 19, Pittsburgh; Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, Youngstown, Ohio, both coeds; Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, Plainsview, L.I., and William K.

...The Norming of Alcohol Consumption in College Paul Vieira Daniel Webster College Abstract In colleges all around America alcohol consumption by college students is becoming normal. This drinking is happening mostly in the students’ dorm rooms on campus. Students are unaware of the negative effects of alcohol and usually participate in binge drinking, which for men is having more than five drinks in one occasion, and for women is having four or more drinks. In order to help prevent alcohol consumption, the colleges themselves must have guidelines in place to inform people about the dangers of alcohol. Strict alcohol rules such as complying with the 21 year old drinking age are also more hands on activities colleges can engage in to stop drinking. The Norming of Alcohol Consumption in College For many students, college is a new experience where they have to make their own decisions about their daily lives. For many students at first it is a difficult adjustment to move away from family and friends and have to deal with this. With this newly found freedom more and more students will consume alcohol on a regular basis. According to the University of Villanova, “Nationally, a very large majority, about 80 percent, of college students uses alcohol” (Villanova). This drinking is mostly happening on the college campuses inside of the students dorm rooms, or at another place on campus. Though colleges do not endorse drinking for students under the legal drinking age, students...

...This case did not overturn a previous Supreme Court decision. United States V. Virginia was also held in a lower court in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This case was argued on January 17, 1996 and a decision was made just five months later on June 26, 1996. I agree with the decision that the Justices made but to an extent. I think that some things should be separated. Learning for example I do believe that kids would better learn if they were not worried about how they looked everyday to impress the opposite sex, if they were in coed classes and schools maybe learning would be easier. I also think that yes that not allowing you to go to a certain school though because of your sex is a violation of your equality rights, so this is why I am not a Judge! I think that the suggestion that Theodore B. Olsen made was a good one although I’m not sure if the women’s institute would have been as good as the guys, since it had been around longer they would have taken more pride in the men’s school. Also, since it was a military base training type of school some believe that women should not be in the military field because they can not perform the same as men. I also agree with that, women can be to emotional at times and not be able to make the difficult decision that need to be...
