Are you for or against mixed gender classes?

Great question.  The fact is that girl do far better in single-gender classes and boys do better in mixed gender ones.  Here's where it gets weird - blacks do better in mixed race classes but whites do better in single-race ones.\n\nSo, is there any way to have equality of education that is actualy the same as equality of opportunity?  It would seem not.  In order for boys to get a better education, girls have to get a worse one.  One of these groups is going to lose.\n\nPutting it in the parents' hands (letting them choose mixed or single sex classes) doesn't really help because any appropriately informed parents will choose the one that gives their children the best education and we're back where we started.\n\nAt the very least, mixed gender classes expose our children to more realistic social experiences.  Does that offset the fact that our girls will not learn math as well?  Beats hell out of me.

What kind of classes? Different ages and/or grades? A combination of different subjects?

there are mixed studies on that.  there is an argument to be made that by removing sexual temptation and competition from a school environment, you reduce a lot of the need for students to worry about anything except study.  also, it is becoming an understood precept that girls and boys learn differently and at different rates.  by separating the two sexes, you can prepare the teachers accordingly and hire teachers specifically capable of teaching boys vs. girls.  it comes down to ensuring that same-sex schools receive equal funding regardless of gender.  for example, sports is a huge part of the inequity between genders and funding.  until that's addressed you'll always have issues of true parity in education.

I'm all for equal rights. What I'm against is special rights, like quotas or giving advantages in admissions & hiring based on race. Those types of things violate the equal protection clause. Political correctness has long ago reached the point of violating the 1st amendment.

My photo teacher who was known for doing nude portraits before she was a teacher, asked me and my subject if I was a lesbian when I took a semi-nude portrait of a friend. I was so shocked and frankly, pissed off. I see nothing wrong with being homosexual, but I don't think it was appropriate for a teacher to insinuate that. So that sticks with me.

Men and women can generally act differently in a workplace or school.  Even if they don't act differently, we can think they act differently.\n\nIt's helpful to go to school with people of the other sex so that you get used to working with them, and you don't have to make that big adjustment later in life.

I hope you don't mind, I saw your other question and also posted this response, so, this is cross posting with extra added ^_~\n\nYes, the institution of education should include proper information about human bodies, ALL human bodies.  I don't know about lower level education, except in biology, we learn that snails and worms are hermaphrodites, there are over 36,000 sexes of mushrooms..etc but intersexes are not "hermaphrodites" and mushrooms certainly aren't human ^_~ As far as post secondary education, I did attend one Sociology class that talked about intersexes briefly. As for resistance, I am in Student Govt. and recently proposed an event for International Intersex Solidarity Day (nov. th) before the Executive Counsil and was shot down faster than a nuclear missile heading to WA DC. because they didn't know what i was talking about. They suggested i hand it off to the rainbow club. I was livid!\n\nIntersexes are either genital shapes and sizes not congruent with current dominant standards of genital shape and size preferences.\n\nIntersexes are also people whose chromosome patterns might not be xx or xy (such as xxy or xxxy, or xxxo, or xo, or mosaic meaning a mix of chromosome patters across different cells)\n\nIntersexes are also a mix of both of the above two options.\n\nThe thing about labeling someone intersex, is that when people from the medical community are deciding whether or not to label someone intersex, they often fluctuate as there is not set standard of criterion across the board.\n\nSome use size standards, such as a phallus that is larger than .9cm is too large for a female, therefore if the doctor feels that the [infant] should have been female according to the doctors preferences looking at genitals and /or chromosomes etc the doctor might trim the phallus or remove it (social construction of the female sex)\n\nAnd if the phallus is smaller than 2.5cm and/or the doctor feels that the [infant] would be unable to stand while urinating as an adult, on an [infant] the doctor feels should have been male according to the doctors preferences looking at genitals and/or chromosomes etc, the doctor might choose to do genital reconstructions and possibly hormone replacement therapy to construct the [infant] as a female regardless of chromosomes etc.\n\nSex is on a spectrum, you see, where the categories of male and female are not static, meaning, not absolute categories, but rather made up of cultural preferences, they are invented labels put on varrying places on the sex spectrum in order to validate a cultures claims of categories of sex, to perpetuate the segregation of human beings.\n\nIntersexes are often marginalized or stigmatized by societies in order to preserve the western binary gender and sex systems which declare that there are only two sexes, and only two corresponding genders, that both are biological, and that the placement of certain sex and gender labels on human bodies mean something, signify something, often socially and religeously. For this reason, many intersexes are subjected to cosmetic surgery, isolation, shame, discrimination, invalidation, and less access to vital medical care and information about their bodies. And often when they are given medical care or information, it is in such a way that highlights cultural preferences/standards for "male" and "female" and downplays the validity of a natural human body which does not conform to these cultural preferences.

I say it is wrong.  Each sex has different characteristics and feelings and attributes.  A baby need both a female and a male role model.

For co-educational - As I was one in a single sex school, and within sex weeks went back to an co-educational schools, in single sex schools girls can be really braty, and often in senior years of high school you find alot of drugs and etc in single sex schools. but I am also against Co-education - as no disruptions of opposite sex like when you form a crush on someone we usually do stupid things. And without the opposite sex we don't need to worry about impressing anyone or etc.

You can pick any you feel comfortable with.  "Mixed" is often an option on questionaires, etc where you have to fill that out. \n\nI am sure you are just lovely- don't be labled by anyone.  We're all a mix of cultures.  Talk to your parents about your struggle, they can help.

When boy/girl or man/women are in classes together there could be less attention to the books! As opposed to male/female classes there is more attention to details of study!\n\nSuggest putting words relating to your question at "google" and there you will get 1000,s of answers, to narrow down to exactly what you need just keep adding or rewording entry...\n\nGood Luck!

They can be mixed, Caucasian or asian. Officially (like for schools) they can pretty much choose whichever they want. Just be consistent.
