Presenting Evidence - Period B by Dan Haggerty https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55 Develop a body of evidence that would support an argument in which you support or oppose same-sex classrooms for public high schools. en-us 2016-09-19 12:16:14 UTC 2016-09-22 17:39:47 UTC hello@padlet.com GrOuP 5 https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/124763446 --  I'm Nick Cyze and back in 7th grade I went to a Co-Ed school. I had a smoking hot girlfriend named Maggie Jones. We were "goals". We had a great relationship, but our grades were not as great. We spent all our time talking with one another and flirting so our grades suffered. This was my personal experience of how co-Ed classrooms can be distracting.
-Some parents don’t want their children to be in mixed-gender classrooms because, especially at certain ages, students of the opposite sex can be a distraction.
-But single-sex education enhances student success when teachers use techniques geared toward the gender of their students.
-Advocates claim co-ed schools tend to reinforce gender stereotypes, while single-sex schools can break down gender stereotypes. 
- Co-education can create social conformity among a students.

That would be an example of personal experience and anecdote, which are first hand evidence.
In coed classrooms, boys were often the dominant group. According to a 3-year study by American University professors Myra Sadker and David Sadker in 1993, boys yell out eight times more often than girls and their opinions were often more valued than their female classmates. In the absence of boys, girls will have a greater chance to participate and get involved in the classroom discussion.

A weakness to the argument of same-sex classrooms is that it does not prepare one for a future in the job industry, where it pretty much has to be both male and female. This would be an example of common knowledge. ]]> 2016-09-19 14:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/124763596 Group 2 https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/124765264 Pro same-sex: ]]> 2016-09-19 14:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/124765264 Group 2 xaviervarela99 https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/125051521 Pro
Same sex classrooms teaching style can be adjusted.
Personal experience: more in common since we all are teenage boys who usually share the same interests. No drama.
Unisex classrooms can provide a better learning. 
Studies show that there are vast differences in the learning development between boys and girls
Most teachers adapt to unisex environments and are able to accomadate to the specific gender
Con
It destroys a larger diversity of people and cultures
Women might be better suited for certain classroom discussions and topics, better understanding of topics that men might not understand, and the same would apply to men.
Unisex classrooms could create a social barrier between genders and may cause a harm in growth in adolescence.

Sure, the whole school does not have to be same-sex, but without co-ed classrooms, the boys won't be able to build team-building skills with girls and vice versa. This may come to haunt them in future endeavors.

In 2010, 78.2 percent of high school students graduated on time. However, many single-sex schools are reporting even more impressive numbers. Eagle Academy in New York, the state's first public all-male school, reported an 82 percent graduation rate for the same time period. Similarly, the Young Women's Leadership Charter School in Chicago reported a 100 percent graduation rate. Proponents say this is because students in single-sex schools are less distracted by their peers and surroundings.
Based on personal experience it is easier for a male to focus without the distraction of girls]]> 2016-09-20 13:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/125060484 Group cjohnson20181 https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/125064686 Im Sean Bird. Back at my grammar school, girls often made fun of my last name, saying "the bird is the word". This made my education experience in a co-ed school very negative. ]]> 2016-09-20 13:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaggerty/8vhzfnfi6a55/wish/125064686
