...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. While in class...

...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 of...

...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 these same schools often taught by a female instructor to learn to read and write. Of the girls who could attend the schools, many were kept at home to be taught the essentials for their future such as cooking, sewing, and the care-taking of babies and toddlers. Fast forward one hundred years and the first coeducational schools can be...

...single sex classes in the United States. Single Sex classrooms are a bad thing because they cause boys and girls to not to be able to work as good together. Not being able to work together makes a lot of people not get jobs and have to worry about financial needs. Although I understand that single sex classes can provide the right learning environment, I still believe single sex classes are not good because they cause poor social skills with the opposite sex. Same sex classrooms are not beneficial, therefore American schools should not create same sex classrooms because they promote poor social skills, cause gender stereotypes, and high tutions. Having same sex classes protes poor social skills with the opposite...

... 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 made quickly. However, women can make different difficult decisions that med can not. So, who’s to judge? I think as a whole that the decision made was the correct one when it comes down to the constitution and having each person have equal...

...was thrilled when she received an acceptance letter from an undergraduate graphic arts program in New York City. But her excitement gave way to anxiety during the first days and weeks at her new school. Fretting about her performance, Diana sought out her professors for comfort and advice. She found them aloof and difficult to contact, however, because none of them posted office hours. When Diana reached out to the chair of the art department, he either was unavailable or expressed little interest in her concerns. Diana's academic fears were unfounded--her first semester grades turned out to be quite good. But lacking contact and support from her teachers, Diana felt lonely, dejected and lost in the crowd. She was so disillusioned, in fact, that she abruptly dropped out of college--and never went back. Now 38, Diana teaches English as a Second Language part-time for an international language school. Her pay is $10 per hour, and she has no opportunity for advancement. Stories like Diana's play out all over the country. Graduation rates at public four-year colleges and universities hover at around 40 percent of entering students. Their private counterparts fare only slightly better; 57 percent of their newly minted freshmen go on to graduate. Two-year public colleges have a worse record, graduating fewer than 130 percent of their students. The record has not...

...After High School few to many people never really take their time to figure out what college, occupation, or future they would like to have. If you are one of those who know what occupation you are looking towards, your next step is to match yourself with a college that will give you classes that you are in need of. I believe that going to college will help better you and your future, my reasons for believing that is because once you have graduated college you will have your diploma and maybe even a degree. Getting your diploma or degree will help you get into much better job choices along the way. Your future should be important to you, so hopefully you take something like college serious. I am thinking about going into college that is not far from home and has classes and courses I need for being a lawyer. The first college I would like to attend is the University of Illinois. This college is located at One William Maxwell Ln. Springfield, IL 62703. If you needed to get ahold of this college you can look up their website and their number will be on it, which is (217)-206-6600. The reason for my choice in this college is because the Legal Studies Department at UIS offers a Master’s degree and a Bachelor's degree in legal studies....

...choice to attend college, there are other contributing factors. College provides an opportunity for young women to experience a limited form of independence and to intermingle with members of the opposite sex. College is the first public place where women come into contact with members of the opposite sex. “College in one place in Iran’s Islamic society that enables young men and women to interact, albeit surreptitiously.” (Shavarini 341) Relationships between men and women are highly guarded in Iran. Their society is heavily segregated by gender. Men and women who are not related may not have any contact. Young men and women are often stopped in public and asked to show proof that they are related. Those that have broken this rule may be detained, fined, and even punished. Because of this segregation many women feel that it is suffocating them. Girls have few choices after high school they are often forced to marry or go to college. Going to college will delay marriage for young girls by another four years. Attending a college or university allows them to escape their restrictive home environments and gives them a chance to be away from the scrutiny of their family and neighbors. “Young women were flocking to institutions of higher education as a result of the broader society in which they live. That is, young Iranian women do not consider college an avenue through which they can acquire skills and knowledge. For them, college is an experience of intangibles: of feeling uncontrolled;...

...Education System Campus life has surely changed in the United States. Gone are images of large groups of sweater-vested coeds pouring through books in an open quad, or individuals in a library, hunched over a microfiche machine looking for a key article to support their research. Laptops and iPads have replaced notebooks, three-ringed binders, and miniature tape recorders as the preferred instrument for taking notes in the classroom. Even the very way lectures are delivered has changed; distance education and web-based courses have taken the place of traditional brick and mortar classrooms. The student body has changed too; millennials now represent the largest generational group on campuses, and this number will continue to rise for the next few years. This presents new challenges to educators as this generation is fundamentally different in many ways from its predecessor: they have lived highly structured lives; are comfortable working in social groups; have high expectations; and are savvy in the realm of technology (Stapleton, Wen, Starrett, & Kilburn, 2007, p. 101). The dilemma faced by university faculty and administrators around the country is who should change, the students or the entire adult education system? Many may resist change on the institutional level; this is understandable in some ways: academia has been their life’s work, so why should they change just because of a new breed of student or a fancy new gadget? Still, many agree change is needed, but they...

Appendices 21-36 Appendix A – Sample Questionnaire Appendix B – Other Researches 1 ABSTRACT In this research material, we aim to know the problems of a senior high school student especially the K+12 coming. A survey was made containing questions about what we have observed among other senior students. We had 100 respondents from different high schools. We consider you to definitely see the answers to the research questions because we can clearly prove that what we experience are just same with what our respondents face. The result recommends more number of students to participate and a wider area including rural areas. 2 INTRODUCTION It is everyone’s dream to graduate high school. It is because it will be their stepping stone to fully realize their dreams. Graduating high school is not as easy as you think especially when we are on the verge of the K+12 implementation. It is a hard thing to do, especially when something bothers or hinders you to do your main purpose in high school. There are many requirements to pass, hard lessons to learn and different problems to encounter. A senior high school student will never say that it is very easy to graduate secondary education because of the very many struggles he...

...more than 500,000 children were born to mothers of ages 15 to 19 years, at a rate of 45.5 per 1000 mothers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010, para. 1). Teenage pregnancy, a public health priority for youths, is a multifaceted health issue that is influenced, in part, by socioeconomic factors such as peer pressure, low income of families, and the media (Maurer & Smith, 2009; The National Campaign, 2010). Likewise, teenage pregnancy also creates socioeconomic and health problems for teenage mothers, teenage fathers, their children, and society. Some of the effects of teenage pregnancy on the children of teen parents are prematurity, low birth weight, inadequate nutrition, child abuse, and replication of the patterns of school dropout. Teen pregnancy prevention programs that are based on appropriate theoretical frameworks play a vital role in the quest of optimal health and well-being for adolescents (Maurer &Smith, 2009). The...

Student were facilitating different techniques and habits of studying to have better memory retention of the lesson they were taking up in different kinds of subject. This method they are utilizing helps them to pass the examination, quizzes and School activities with high grades. *In education, it involves study habits and this is the ways that you study; the habits that you have formed during your school years. Study habits can be good ones, or bad ones. Good study habits include being organized, keeping good notes, reading your textbook, listening in class, and working every day. Bad study habits include skipping class, not doing your work, watching TV or playing video games instead of studying, and losing your work. Each Student has their unique technique of studying. One technique may not work for one person but works with the other. Furthermore, Students keep up the habits which they proved effective for them and keep utilizing it in the entire lesson they are taking up. Therefore, it has always been the presumption of many educators that students will eventually develop good study habit as they grow and become more experienced in school. But this is only partly true. It has been...
