When children have started their pre school, most parents would start planning what school to send for their next level of education; whether the boy school, girl school or co-educational school. For those parents who can afford, they would probably choose the best private in town and for the others, public school nearest to home is the best choice.
There are pros and cons for both single sex and co-educational schools. In boys school, with no girls to impress, the boys are more at ease to take up any feminine subjects like language, art, drama or music but will also get into a lot more fights than those in co-educational school. Likewise in girls school, girls can be more competitive and taking up boys’ sports without worrying to be called tom boys. Single sex school has indirectly encouraged the children to just be themselves and allowing them to develop their own unique characters without worrying about what the other gender might think about him or her.
I have nephews and nieces studying in single sex school and coeducational school. Comparing the two different schools, girls in the co-education tend to be more studious and score better academically whereas the boys are more lagging in their study. The good point for children from co-educational school is that they are better prepared for the outside world as they would gain the interactive and social skills with the opposite gender as they grow. To conclude, parents should not only base their decision on what school to send, they should also consider the reputation of the school and the quality of the education provided.
