Talk:Single-sex education

In the interest of impartiality, at least one site defending coeducation should be added to the links section. 63.152.13.57 07:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

NPOV

This article does not give due coverage to supporters of coeducational facilities, so I've added the NPOV tag. -- Beland 22:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

• The problem was not fixed. Please do not remove the tag until it is. --Phoenix Hacker 18:15, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

If you've got ideas for fixing the POV problem, please feel free to edit the article appropriately. Even if you've just got a start or outline of what needs to be added, that will help other editors flesh it out. CSWarren 18:12, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

This is no more POV than the coeducation article.70.150.94.194 22:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

This article reads like it was written by an advocate for single-sex education. IMO, Beland is correct (any studies supporting the coeducational viewpoint? can we get references to them in here?) and also, the tone of the case for coeducation sounds dismissive, and why all this harping on the differences between the genders? Methychroma (talk) 03:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know when or how the NPOV tag got removed, nor do I know how to reinstate it, else I would. It still (over 5 years later) reads in favor of segregated learning environments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.6.227 (talk) 21:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Take note that neutral meta-analysis of the US shows that: The quantitative data itself “finds positive results are three to four times more likely to be found for single sex schools than for coeducational schools in the same study for both academic achievement and socio-emotional development,” said Cornelius Riordan, one of the directors of the research.

It stands to reason that there are more data (3-4x more) showing it has more advantages than coed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.91.203 (talk) 03:04, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Merger

I suggest these three articles (Single-sex education Single-sex school and Coeducation) are merged into one, providing (properly supported) arguments for both sides. Now, there are two articles with a very similar topic, and each article has neutrality and/or citation issues.

I am currently creating a presentation on this topic, and I might be able to write this new page, or help contributing to a group effort with somebody with more background on this topic in the lead.

Please leave your thoughts, —Nay, April 1st, '08 —Preceding comment was added at 14:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Agree ClemMcGann (talk) 14:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Agree These topics go together, but I am at a loss for what the name of the merged article would be named. None of the existing article titles are objective or comprehensive enough to respect the other side of the issue. --MUW Fan (talk) 20:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Agree & Disagree: Single-sex education and Single-sex school should be merged, since they both convey the same meaning. However, suggesting that Coeducation should be merged with the other two is not a good idea, since it conveys the opposite meaning to the other two terms. Hamletpride (talk) 17:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Conclusion: I merged the entire contents of Single-sex school into this article. However, Coeducation has been left, due to the differences in meaning, with one being the entire opposite of the other. One should note that there is in fact a thread over there on the discussion page at the moment to rename the article to "Mixed-sex education", for reasons explained there.

Single sex?

Shouldn't it be Single-gender? Surely there is enough sex on the Internet, and in reference to education of children sex hardly matters --Meieimatai? 06:24, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

   Although I tend to agree with your thinking, the term "single sex education and/or classrooms" tends to be the language used in 
   educational discussions on this topic. 2Bdea (talk) 00:21, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, this article name sounds like sex education, which it probably isn't. 85.217.15.109 (talk) 10:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

The words Sex and Gender have evolved over time, especially in the past few decades. The word "Sex" traditionally has referred both to the action and to a classification of people. Personally, I would favor a remain to something like "Gender-based segregation in schools" which is what this article is actually about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.6.227 (talk) 21:12, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

"Sex" means biological sex. It means what one's chromosomes and genitals are. "Gender" is completely redundant and only used because people find the word "sex" awkward to use. The proper term is sex.99.6.157.136 (talk) 23:31, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

How about recent research on single sex education?

This article should include the latest research on this topic. 4672mtem (talk) 02:50, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Higher agression single-sex education school

On an single-sex education school there must be more aggression, boys can get a higher testosterone level --213.46.155.253 (talk) 18:46, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

From my experience in a single-sex male school, violence, name calling and filthy language, bullying/teasing/taunting, racial discrimination, ethnic, social class discrimination, colour discrimination, gender stereotyping and homosexual behavior (I have seen it first hand and am totally disgusted by it), trashy/filthy toilets and rooms, overemphasis on sports, arrogance, exclusivism, are very prevalent in many single sex schools (similar to the movie in Lord of the Flies). When those students enter university and the real world, such unnatural and inappropriate tendencies are carried with them and this negatively impacts on society as a whole. I am glad I am no longer at a single sex school. It was like living in hell. --BrianJ34 (talk) 06:14, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

At the technical school where I was in the Netherlands , boys did not dare to assume that they had homosexual feelings, there were a lot of jokes about them and they tried to fool each, the behavior was very childish other2A02:A400:6148:1:71AA:F3BB:FBB1:43F8 (talk) 09:21, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Bi-education

"is the practice of conducting education with male and female students attending separate classes, perhaps in separate buildings or schools"That is plain wrong.There is mono-education, where only students of one sex are in that school, then there is bi-education, where only students of one sex are in one class, but there are classes for females and for males (I do not know of a single bi-education school which even acknowledges the existence of other sexes, less accepts students with it), and then there is co-education, where all students regardless of their sex are in one class. 2A01:C23:7505:2B00:B8BC:C615:A3A2:638E (talk) 08:51, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Poorly Organized

The image next to the section for Ireland is a school in Scotland, the section for Iraq is about the middle east in general and mentions the United Arab Emirates rather than Iraq, the tone and formatting of every single section is wildly different, many sections cite zero sources for information, among other issues. This article needs to be looked over and rewritten in a lot of areas. ArchangelGabriel0723 (talk) 16:57, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
