Some critics of single sex schooling claim that the environment of these schools is artificial and
hinders students development of social skills. The teenage years are known for being important
periods of development and those who oppose single sex schools believe that this type of
education makes it harder for children to naturally relate to members of the opposite sex.
Another argument made against single sex schools is that they do not help children to get ready for
'real life' and the 'real world' where, of course, the two genders do co-exist. The same argument is
cited with regard to universities and the workplace - opponents to single sex schools believe that
mixed schools better prepare students for university and work life.
Argumen lain dilakukan terhadap sekolah seks tunggal adalah bahwa mereka tidak membantu
anak-anak untuk bersiap-siap untuk 'kehidupan nyata' dan 'dunia nyata' di mana, tentu saja, dua
jenis kelamin melakukan co-ada. Argumen yang sama dikutip berkaitan dengan universitas dan
tempat kerja - lawan untuk sekolah seks tunggal percaya bahwa sekolah campuran yang lebih baik
mempersiapkan siswa untuk universitas dan kehidupan kerja.
The Benefits of Mixed Schools
Some evidence has suggested that boys in mixed schools performed better academically, as they
are encouraged not to 'mess around' by their more responsible female classmates - but obviously
this is a generalisation and might prove different in specific schools and even in particular
classrooms. Some proponents of mixed schools claim these schools have a better atmosphere,
since they are neither too 'bitchy', as can occur when a group of girls are working and studying
together, not too aggressive, which can occur when boys are exclusively working and studying
together.
