Sex Education
Many people have different views on single sex education. Susan Estrich is very much in favor of single sex education. She believes that schools treat girls unfairly, and that by having schools or classes devoted to teaching only girls would help them greatly. From what Estrich says, girls are not given a chance in Math and in Science classes. Geared more toward boys, the classes do not even give the girls a chance to succeed from the start. She believes that the SAT tests to get into college are unfair. I disagree with Estrich's views on single sex education. By separating boys and girls, it would end up causing many more problems then answers. In the very short run, girls may do better in class without the distraction of boys. In the long run, what? Learning not to be able to work in the real world with men. And what about all of the experiences they would lose? There are so many consequences by one action just in the name of good schooling.Estrich's views come from her past. Twenty years ago when she still attended school, she remembers things as though she could have done better in school, but her school did not let that happen. She goes on to say that instead of taking the tough math
Why she did not do both? Only she would know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**Work CitedEstrich, Susan. But how many girls do you know! that are very outgoing? Most will have had very little experience with the opposite sex, and that will be a very big adjustment for them to make. By separating the sexes, you form a gap. The school that she attended had no hand in her choice. The girls that went out at night and on the weekends during high school to find boys will not have very much trouble. and science courses, she " learned to twirl a baton, toss it in the air, and catch it while doing a split in the mud or the ice (126). The kids that take the harder classes throughout high school will do better on their SAT's as compared to the students that decided to take the easy classes.
