Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

#people #boys #girls #schools #benefit
Generally, education does not separate different mindsets as long as students are within the same school. The
genders
' specific traits in
this
 case,
also
 do not have a major impact on the process of education, which will not affect much of one's mindset when it comes to the profession and academic proficiency of any field and subject.
However
, there are
both
advantages
 and disadvantages to
both
 of the views mentioned earlier. Starting with the
gender
-separated
schools
, with boys being in their separated
schools
 and so as the girls. The advantage that it may bring is the significant reduction in the risk of sexual abuse or molestation, due to the separated
gender
 nature of the
schools
, which reduced their instinct or demands of sexual needs.
Nevertheless
, due to their lack of direct interactions with the opposite
gender
, getting to know or understand each other's nature can be a very tough task to carry out for
both
genders
, which will affect
both
 sides' socializing skills due to not knowing well the basic characteristics of the opposite
gender
. More or less, it
also
 drops their confidence upon encountering their male counterparts While being in a mixed school does the opposite function and
in contrast
, increases the risk of sexual abuse or
such
, the rate for
both
genders
 to interact
also
 dramatically rises, which leads to better socializing skills for
both
genders
. Being in a mixed school will most likely build your confidence towards more kind of people and
also
, to their opposite
gender
.
Moreover
, they will have more
advantages
 when it comes to approaching different subjects and majors of study. To conclude,
both
 views given have their respective
advantages
 and disadvantages, but while the mixed
schools
 bring more risk of unwanted situations, it
also
 brings you more
advantages
 to approach much likely everything and renders your confidence a little bit more. Personally, mixed
schools
 are the winners.
