ESSAY ON CO-EDUCATION GOOD OR BAD : First of all, it is important to understand that just by sending your child at an all-girls or all-boys school doesn't stop them from seeking out the opposite sex. You can minimize contact when your child is in school, but you cannot stop your children meeting others through tuitions, extra classes, the neighborhood, or through friends. If your child meets someone with whom she shares chemistry, and if she makes the decision to get physical with such person, there's little a parent can do.
ESSAY ON CO-EDUCATION GOOD OR BAD
First of all, it is important to understand that just by
sending your child at an all-girls or all-boys school doesn't stop them from
seeking out the opposite sex.
You can minimize contact when your child is in school, but
you cannot stop your children meeting others through tuitions, extra classes,
the neighborhood, or through friends. If your child meets someone with whom she
shares chemistry, and if she makes the decision to get physical with such
person, there's little a parent can do.
On the other hand, when you send your child to a
co-educational school, your child will have exposure to the opposite sex from
the outset. As a result, your child will not only feel more comfortable in the
company of the opposite sex, but will also be able to handle advances better.
A girl studying in a co-educational school may have ten boys
in her class that are interested in going out with her, and may ignore them
all, preferring to just hang out with friends. On the other hand, a girl in an
all-girls school will meet fewer boys, and fewer still will show an interest,
in her.
Such interest, since it isn't something run- of-the-mill for
her, may cause her to get carried away. However, she may still have a lot of
exposure to the other sex, thanks to siblings. In this case, she may be more
balanced.
When making the decision of sending your child to a single
sex or a co-educational school, don't base the decision on whether you want to
minimize or increase your child's exposure to the opposite sex. Instead,
consider the reputation of the school, the activities it offers and the quality
of education and educators.
Certain schools are geared towards sending students abroad
for further studies. If you want your child to go abroad, this is something you
may consider. Then there are other less traditional schools that focus more on
activities and less on academics.
If this is something that appeals to you, then give this
fact more priority than the student mix. In fact when deciding what school to
send your child to, whether or not it is co-educational should be last on your
list of criteria.
