The following paper will argue against single-sex schools and display various reasons as to how they are counter-productive to student needs. A report published in the journal Science, states that students who attend single-sex schools are no better educated than those who attend co-ed schools. Plus, children are more likely to accept gender stereotypes when they go to an all-boys or all-girls school. "There's really no good evidence that single-sex schools are in any way academically superior, but there is evidence of a negative impact," said Lynn Liben, professor of psychology and education at Penn State and co-author of the study. "Kids' own occupational aspirations are going to be limited, and there could be long-term consequences where, for example, girls are used to being in roles only among other girls, then they have to face the real world where that's not the case."
I take a high level of pride in my last name because I was always taught it represented our family as a whole. Whenever someone says “Alex Keller” is not a good person, they are shaming my entire family and that isn't something I should bring upon us. On the contrast my mother, hailing from Detroit, taught me about standing up for what is right and having my voice heard. Many social issues such as racism or homophobia were never really a problem for me. I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school.
“ I am and it is in due to the fact the people actually listen to me now. I kept telling my stories over and over and over again because people would not listen to me. I had to make sure they knew them well so they could be pass them down to their children and grand children before I could tell new ones.” Why is it important that they know them well, and that they’re telling them to their kids? “ It’s important because that’s how our traditions and costumes are still alive. Can you imagine if no native knew about our past?
There will always be people that just will not accept each other and judge others by their color or the way they dress and foods they eat, but the majority of all the people here must learn that the only way the United States can continue to be a great nation is that we are all in this together, and keep making laws that will protect from being discriminated against and stop the racism, so our children can build a long and strong country. Making sure we accept others no matter what, and just learn from one another. Make sure that the equal rights of all people are enforced and maintained as laws, to protect all of us from the harm of bigotry and racism. When we as parents can teach our children and the different people that their cultures are excellent ways to share and help us all live together for the good of all and that we can learn so much from each other and share all the good things from our different cultures and are lives. This will make our great country so much stronger and
This quote is saying that although some kids grow up fine in a different race family, some do not, in which they faced a lot of hate from people of the community, affecting them mentally and physically. Kids in transracial adoptions are not as prepared for the community and people around them when it comes to hate and racist comments, compared to someone living with people of the same ethnicity. However, statistics show that the children do not differ from others of the same race, even if they are adopted. It states, “Children of interracial adoptions grow with the same sense of pride and develop the same family relationships as birth children raised in the same households.” (Source C). This means that those kids who know the difference between their family, due to their race, are more knowledgeable and shown to be more proud of their ethnicity.
Whether or not inclusion programs are truly beneficial to students with disabilities is an argument that is an on-going one. As recently as 1997, after lengthy litigation a case concerning inclusion was heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit handed down a ruling based on the least restrictive environment. In this case, the parents of a student with autism and significant behavior challenges disagreed with the school board’s decision to remove the student from a full-inclusion program due to aggressive behavior. The judge’s decision regarding the Hartmann v. Loudoun County Board of Education case upheld the position that although IDEA favors full inclusion, for some students a more restrictive or segregated setting may be appropriate. Problems with Inclusion Much progress has been made in the effort to improve the quality of experiences that students with disabilities are offered in our schools.
How do we look for that "something else"? We know that it is a mistake to compare children of divorced parents with children of continuously-married parents without taking into account differences between divorcing families and continuously married families PRIOR to the marital disruption. Parents who are more likely to divorce may also be more likely to be impoverished, to live in disadvantaged neighborhoods, to be less educated, to have been raised in divorced families themselves, or to have more children than average. These factors may impair a child's well-being whether the parents stay together or not, but also be more likely to produce a marital disruption. To test the effect of pre-existing family characteristics versus the effect of divorce itself, prior studies have used statistical analysis to "control" for the differences we can see between divorced and continuously-married families prior to the disruption.
So the question is, should uniforms be worn in public schools? I don’t think so. Yes, there are several benefits, but I believe the cons outweigh the pros in this situation. It is said, and has been shown in several studies that uniforms in public schools reduce the amount of violence amongst the students. If all of the students on campus look the same, it is hard to distinguish among the many cliques and/or gangs; and anyone who doesn’t belong on campus would easily be identified.
What is more, the fact that boys and girls learn differently is not supported by scientific evidence. If students of both genders aren’t exposed to each other during their education, they won’t know how to deal with each other when they need it most. Single sex supporters also argue that students educated along with the other gender may become more interested in the opinions of the opposite gender than
Why Girls and Guys Need to Learn Together What is the deal with single-sex education? How do students function within this environment? And does single-sex schools do anything for the students,community, or the world around us ? Since single-sex schools are said to be an alternative way to improve test scores, schools of this nature have popped up all around the globe. Because of this, the schools in our district are considering separating all schools by gender as a result of this apparent improvement.
