In many countries today, parents can choose to send their children to single-sex schools or co-educational schools. Some people think that children going to single-sex schools have disadvantages later in life. To what extent do you agree?

 


It is a perennial debate whether single-sex schools have demerits later in life. I agree with the notion since such schooling lacks diversity.


The foremost downside is this type of schooling is full of single-gender interactions rather than interaction with the opposite gender. While single-gender classrooms provide a relaxed ambience for children's interaction with their gender, it is different in the real world, where boys and girls must interact and work with each other. Moreover, when they are used to interacting only with one gender in school, the awkwardness and newness of the experience make it difficult for boys and girls to interact and converse comfortably.


Another demerit of this schooling is it promotes gender disparity. To be more precise, children usually tend to be shy around each other or are just too curious about each other. In a co-ed, they might fight with each other, but they grow up knowing each other well. This is a healthy way of growing up, absent in single-gender education. Moreover, single-gender classrooms or schools could make children feel they are superior to the other sex, and that promotes gender disparity.


Yet another disadvantage of single-gender schooling is less socialising. It means girls and boys in single-sex schools may miss out on learning how to socialise with the opposite gender, which can lead them to feel shy or uncomfortable meeting their counterparts outside school. When they face other people of the opposite gender, they do not always know how to react, as they are unfamiliar with the environment.

To conclude, single-sex schools undeniably have various advantages as well; however, such students may face troubles in the latter period owing to less confidence in working in a co-ed scenario.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmad...

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a sa...
