Single Sex Education is Better than Co-Education

Thanks againt to my opponent. I would like to counter his counter refutations and then re-inforce my own points once more. Please do not counter counter counter refute. It gets a bit silly then ;). Fifth round will be short, concluding words with key refutations and summing up the argument. Counter counter-refutations 1. Students need [to] interact with the people of other gender, but now-a-days it is very necessary to learn that at a very early stage. First of all, my opponent did not provide a source so we can count this as speculative. Second of all, I harken back to your quote of the woman who felt out of place briefly at college. There is no, I repeat no evidence that single-sex schools have done damage to people after their first awkward period of college. I'm sure this woman lives a healthy life interacting with students of both genders.2. My point was not that children should be told that they are worse than boys, but they must realise that there are some students who are better than them at some subjects and they need to [improve] themselves to survive in the competition. This very indirectly counter refutes my refutation. It is pretty irrelevant. What I am saying is, by having a football team that only boys join, and a cheerleading team that only girls join, we are perpetuating gender stereotypes. Computer classes that are not required are mostly boys, and home ed classes are mostly girls. Using single-sex schools, we can teach students that it doesn't matter if computer is a "boy" subject. They can do this class free of ridicule.3. No teacher can provide students what they would have gotten by interacting and discussing with one another. There is no source cited to this, so we can assume it is just an opinion. According to the NASSPE (National Association of Single-Sex Public Education), single-sex teachers are very trained in targeting gender nuances and expressing ideas to students of all one gender.4. Every student has a different learning style and capability irrespective of his/her gender. There are many ways each gender differs. Go to a seven year old boy and a seven year old girl and ask this question: "How long can you stand still and be quiet" and you will find very different answers. They are built into our brains. Teachers that teach at single sex schools are very trained in teaching to these different genders. Why do you think they segregate schools in to different grades? Second grade is for seven year olds and fourth grade is for nine year olds, because there are significant differences in the way that they learn, and what they have learned so far. It is the same for girls and boys. Girls respond to calmness in a teacher and sounds, while boys respond to visual cues and funny and loud teachers. A girl might be intimidated by a singlesex boys teacher and a boy might be bored by a single-sex girls teacher. Source is the NASSPE5. Cheerleading is a very popular sport and many girls are interested in cheerleading. This is because girls can't play on the football team and boys can't cheerlead. From a young age at co-ed schools we are taught that football is for boys and cheerleading is for girls. Girls don't cheerlead because it is fun. I mean, they do, but the underlying reason is that they are taught that they don't play football. Points1. Students and single-sex schools perform better than those at co-ed schools. Especially with the amount of flunking students at high schools nowadays, we cannot leave any stone unturned. Any method thatcan up grades significantly needs to be implemented.2. Males and females have different learning styles which must be treated differently. By treating aforementioned differences we can raise learning efficiency.3. Single-sex education promotes gender equality. I find myself coming back to the football cheerleading example again and again. We can teachs students that they can be whoever they want to be without fear of being judged, or without being told that "they can't join the football team".4. Students have a life outside of class. Single-sex students are not locked inside their school. Along with extra-cirricular events, inter school events occur and let students interact. Your move.
