Single Gender Schools

Just to clarify, Pro has the BOP, Con must disprove Pro's argumentation to win. With that said, Pro will disregard round one's arguments by Con, because not only were they unwarranted (No source) But they are also pure speculation, no factual or logical input past a simple assumption. PROS CASE1) Best interest of the children A) Strategic Employment of Learning Strategies- Single-Sex Schools allow for teachers to work nearly one-on-one with students, thus enhancing the students learning ability. This leads to not only better grades in school, but much more versatility for the teacher. Teachers can employ certain strategies that would only normally effect half the class (Based on gender). [1] B) Differences in Learning- Each gender has a distinctive learning style, that extends far past that of simple audio vs visual learning. A clash of learning is the result of a teacher attempting to explain a concept to students of both genders. This hinders both the male and female students from learning, causing a small paranoia to be aroused in the classroom, that slows down the entire class [2]C) Comfort in Numbers- Many Schools nationwide have found that many students actually prefer single-sex schools over co-ed schools. The reason for this is because children understand they are not going to school to flirt or hang out with the opposite sex, rather they are going to learn. Children in many single-sex schools are right next to the opposite sex, in fact many of the school's commonly labeled "Single-Sex" only refer to the classroom environment, where there are only male or female students. However during passing periods, lunch, and break times, both sexes come together to chat, to embrace one another, and to develop an understanding that education is the number one priority over "The Guy I'm taking to prom". [3]D) Taming thyne hormones- As students mature, their hormones begin to react more and more, until the breaking point occurs (Beginning at the age of 16 for guys, and 13 for girls). This is possibly the biggest distraction for school. A boy may be distracted by a girl on the other side of the room while taking a test, and vice versa. Distractions hinder education, the whole purpose of going to school, and lead to lower grades. [4] [5]2) NUCLEAR HOLOCAUSTWithout a proper education, many philosophers believe that a possible WORLD WAR 3 is on the horizon for generation X. This includes hostilities, blatant racism, and of course, lack of education. If the first point in Pro's Case (Including all 4 points) Are taken down, then Con has initiated a nuclear holocaust and lost the round. [6] The Effecs of a nuclear holocaust include-1) World War 3- Estimated death toll ( 1 billion dead) [7]2) Elimination of all life on earth (Except for cockroaches) [8] 3) The Book "The City of Ember" coming to life [9]4) Chicken being turned into a nuclear waste chicken [10]3) Social SkillsA common misconception is that single-gender schools and classroom students lack social skills towards the opposite sex. In fact, many of these male and female students do participate with each other outside of school, and during breaks in school (Such as lunch or before and after school). Even those that do not converse with the opposite sex do not lack the social skills to, as a male will talk to another male about a girl, and male b will understand, just as a girl may talk to another girl about a boy, and girl b may understand. Stating that all single gender children lack social skills is an assumption rounded by no factual proof.
