Blog assignment #5
Recentely I Greene County, Georgia they were set to be the first school district in the entire nation to go entirely single-sex in their class rooms. They decided to do this after low test scores and an increase in teen pragnancy. They believe that students will do better because they will not be trying to inmpress the other sex. With about 2,000 students in the growing school district they are mostly black and a working class. Many parents are upset with this move because they believe that it is not needed because there kids are now being looked at as bad kids when one mom says that they really aren't. Leonard Sax, head of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, has said that this move is an illegal even though single-sex classrooms and schools are on a raise. In the elemantary schools the boys and girls will just be in seperate classrooms but in grades seven through 12th the boys and girls will be in completely different schools!
My thoughts on this article are not very good. Girls and Boys have to learn to grow up together so they can tollerate each other so they are ready for the real world. I can see where some students would do better if they were seperated but I can see where some would not do as good because they feel more intimidated by the same sex. boys and girls can be very intimidating to one another. So I do not believe that it is going to be the smartest move that they have taken.
