Advantages and disadvantages of educating boys and girls in the same class at schools.

Although

boys

and

girls

study at separate

schools

in traditional countries, there are a lot of mixed-

gender

schools

where

boys

and

girls

are educated in the same

class

in many countries .

This

kind of school has both advantages and drawbacks. I will discuss both in

this

paper. There are many advantages to educating

boys

and

girls

in the same

class

at school. One of them is more preparation to be in society. As we know in real life, men and women are together. They should be able to communicate and work with each other. In the mixed

gender

schools

,

boys

and

girls

study and do their exercises together. in fact, their school is a small community. So, they prepare for their real life in future. The

next

one is

gender

equality. When

boys

and

girls

are educated in the same environment, it means that they have similar educational conditions.

For example

, they have the same teachers, laboratories and teaching methods.

Hence

, they learn there is no difference between males and females.

On the other hand

, there are

also

some drawbacks to educating

boys

and

girls

in the same

class

. At

first

, it can lead to a series of sexual problems. Nowadays, children are conscious and have information about everything. They know the

gender

differences between males and females. it is possible that Some of them be naughty. So, they may harass their opposite sex with sexual jokes or movements.

This

problem is more common in

third

-world countries.

Moreover

, controlling students in mixed-

gender

schools

is more difficult than in single-

gender

schools

. When

boys

and

girls

are together, they have more challenges for their teachers. They make a lot of noise.

Thus

, teachers should spend more time controlling them. In summary, studying

boys

and

girls

in the same

class

has many benefits and problems. More readiness to be in the real world and

gender

equality are its benefits. The disadvantages are sexual problems and the harder control of students.
