Nowadays, there are various types of
schools
,
thus
 they can be divided into two groups: single-sex
schools
 and mixed
schools
. There are two different ways of thinking: the single-sex
schools
 that are only formed by boys or girls and the mixed
schools
 that are composed of both. In
this
 essay, I want to argue both of them.
Firstly
, I want to share my opinion on single-sex
schools
. Personally, I live in Italy and here
this
 type of education does not exist anymore. According to my grandma's thoughts, these types of
schools
 are boring and unusual.
However
 there are several parents that believe in it,
therefore
 they decide for their children that
this
 can be the best way to grow their mental and physical ability.
Secondly
, there are mixed
schools
, that would be what I actually attend in my high school.
This
 is fantastic for my educational experiences and curriculum. During these years I have known a lot of people, boys and girls, who help me with my troubles.
Furthermore
, according to the studies of the University of Toronto people that have attended a course in mixed
schools
 do not have a difficult relationship with people in their adult life,
instead
, the students of single-sex
schools
 sometimes have demonstrated some problems with these latter. To sum up, I have given my personal opinion about
this
 topic, for real, there is not the right way of viewing
this
 argument, but how remarkable, probably mixed
schools
 give a most significant way of critical thinking.
