However, schools are the place for students to lead their potential power and institutes that help them to be learned as much as they can, and under the condition of separating of boys and girls, their potential can be maximized. Boys and girls could be helper to each other, but the first priority for student to do is studying and learning knowledge which might be driving force for them to manage their future lives. There are five reasons why boys and girls should attend separate schools. First of all, as mentioned on the above, boys and girls can maximize their scholarly potential when they attend separate schools. Some schools that are already taking only boys or girls such as boarding or private schools have proved that their achievements are way high when they are separate.
Outline some of the reasons pupils form subcultures A subculture refers to a group of pupils who share the same values and behaviour. Pupil subcultures can be either pro or anti-school. It is argued that middle class pupils are generally part of pro-school subcultures and working class pupils and pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds are part of anti-school subcultures. Firstly, sociologists such as Becker argue it is a result of negative labelling He found that the teachers emphasized characteristics such as conduct and language before they got to ability. Becker concluded that it was much easier for middle class students to meet this ideal since they are better dressed and spoken than their working class counterparts.
Karen Hill Unit 3 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Work with children and young people 1. Understand the importance of promoting equality and diversity in work with children and young people 1.1 Identify the current legislation and codes of practice relevant to the promotion of equality and valuing of diversity At The Meadows Community Primary School there are a range of policies which set out guidelines and procedures for ensuring equality. These must take into account the rights of all individuals and groups within the school. Policies must also pay regard to the values and practice which are apart of all aspects of school life. It is important for myself to understand relevant legislation and it’s purpose, as this will help me in my role as a teaching assistant and make me aware of my responsibilities.

As it says in Item A, a subculture is a group of pupils who share similar values and attitudes. Some subcultures are pro-school, while some are anti-school. An unstructured interview is when the interviewer has freedom to vary the questions they ask. There are a number of strengths and weaknesses of using unstructured interviews to interview children, and they will be examined below. Unstructured interviews allow the interviewer to build rapport with the pupils, unlike questionnaires where there is no chance to build rapport because the researcher has limited contact with the pupils.
Department of Education that show that girls outshine boys in reading, writing, science, math, and have a lot higher educational aspirations. She also gives us data that shows that girls are starting to beat boys in enrolling in college, and that girls are more engaged in academically then boys. She implies that all of this has been happening because the educational doesn’t “favor” boys over girls anymore. I agree with that statement, but I also don’t think that the educational should let boys be “left behind” either. Yes, boys are bad at school; I can say this because I’m a boy and I see everything first hand, my peers are less and less interested in school and college, they often talk about just either dropping out of high school and getting a job, graduating and just work and not go to college or simply join the military.
I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating. It is also necessary to look at the subject being taught and be flexible in the grouping of children. I personally feel that for subjects such as Literacy and Numeracy, where there is pressure for academic success the children should be split into ability groups. I feel by working in ability groups, the children are still able to support each other and there is still a hint of Vygotsky’s ZPD theory being practised, as there is still a range of abilities within an ability group and the more able of one particular ability group, can support the others in the group. It is important to remember that no one child is the same as another, even if they are classified as being of similar ability.
Teachers have clear objectives to which they can tailor their lessons, and administrators have clearer means of monitoring progress in schools (Wright, 2012). During an interview with a parent of two school age children attending different schools had this to say concerning the act… NCLB is a positive approach to education because scientific studies show that children who have been held back often display a lack of confidence, social skills and often have issues with problem solving (Johnson, 2012), By getting immediate help when and where needed we can through this process avert that outcome and cause our children to be more confident and productive succeeding and achieving equally amongst their peers (Johnson,
Single sex education is also beneficial because boys and girls build their confidence and self-esteem up when learning in separate classrooms, boys and girls have different learning skills, and there is no sexual pressure within single sex schooling. Single sex education is just as beneficial as co-education. "One of the key arguments supporting single-sex programs is that they create an institutional and classroom climate in which female students can express themselves freely and frequently, and develop higher order thinking skills (Salomone, 2006)." Within a co-education classroom, students worry about what others think of them so they cannot express their feelings in class discussions; or they are afraid to raise their hand to ask a question because they do not want to be teased or ridiculed. According to girlslearndifferently.com, in a single sex education classroom, students develop cognitive skills and they feel free to express themselves in class discussions.
The way children are spoken to, played with, touched, etc. I think the expectations from society influence the way parents raise their children. Growing up, children are completely stereotyped. For example, boys are thought to mostly play with toy trucks/cars, action figures, and tools and girls are thought to mostly play with Barbie dolls, makeup, and kitchen sets. Mainly because that stereotypical societal behavior is encouraged through advertisements on a daily basis.
