All the opposite sex is, is a distraction.

People need to learn to deal with distractions

A healthy dose of distractions keeps people awake and stops them from zoning out.

Also, people need to know how to deal with members of the opposite sex. Most women are not that distracting, if at all. I would imagine there is even less distracting men.

Many people meet their spouses in college, some in high school. Co-education allows for people to have plenty of choices for their emotional needs to be satisfied. Also a build up of sexual desire can be frustrating and distracting, having regular interaction with members of the opposite sex can relieve that.

Like saying a good amount of crack keeps people from falling asleep and essentially keeps people from doing crack.

A distraction zones them out, seeing a cloud outside that looks like a dog ... or maybe a cat ... could that be a tail ...? Oh wait I just zoned out.

Also, people need to know how to deal with members of the opposite sex. Most women are not that distracting, if at all. I would imagine there is even less distracting men.

Are you being facetious? I hope so.

Having a good looking female in class gives me a reason to not do my work, and become flirtatious. Men by nature always compete to be alpha, whether or not they do this consciously. Having a female in class just gives guys an excuse to act out.

Many people meet their spouses in college, some in high school.

Totally irrelevant. Because I could meet the love of my life has nothing to do with whether or not her being in class has been better for my education.

Co-education allows for people to have plenty of choices for their emotional needs to be satisfied.

Single sex education removes the distraction of the opposite sex during class, not outside life.

Also a build up of sexual desire can be frustrating and distracting, having regular interaction with members of the opposite sex can relieve that.

Again, seeing members of the opposite sex can still be done, quite easily might I add.

In todays world...

yes.

I used to get a hard on every 30minutes in school. That meant instead of doing my work I would be talking to the girl sitting next to me and hoped it would lead to me fucking her brains out for several hours. If I was successful it would only make me try again with another girl.

This is every 30minutes btw.

Well... I think it depends. I went to an all-boys high school and I have to say I really enjoyed the atmosphere, especially in comparison to my middle school. I always felt comfortable and never had to make sure I looked good in the morning. I have met a few girls who went to all-girls schools though, and from what I've heard, they really suck. I think it's because girls are catty and can be backstabbers.

I think that a single sex education is better than a co-ed education because then it avoids to many distractions e.g a girl and her boyfriend have broken up, eventually theyll see eachother around the school and may feel uncomfortable around the school, especially if they are in the same class and that could cause them to feel uncomfortable and that may reflect on how focused they are on their class work.

I think this question have more to do with the social school environment than the actual education. That being said, being in an all-boys school, I'd experienced a very masculine environment, and I felt comfortable. I'd been in a co-ed school, but I was in middle school, and too young to have had any distractions.

But if you're talking about how your classmates can affect how you do academically, a co-ed school makes sense. However, I'm gay, so I myself have some "distractions" sometimes, but it rarely affect my grades, if ever.

To answer your question, I'll say a single sex education is better, not because there's less distractions (for straight people), but because single sex schools usually are private schools, which generally gives a better education.

in some subjects at some stages of learning it can be beneficial to be in a single sex setting. However, for the most part co-ed education is far better. Children need to develop respect for the opposite sex and to form friendships that aren't based on a sexual relationship. Hopefully this will then help them build better relationships as adults.

As a teacher I enjoy teaching co-ed classes much more than either sex separately. There is a different sort of interaction between the students.

"The ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, said that Co-education creates a feeling of comradeship". Co-ed education help boys and girls in the future life because when they finish single sex school they will understand that they do not have any experience in communication with each other. In my opinion people who study in single sex school try to avoid communication with opposite sex. Co-ed education help people to achieve something because male and female have a different ways of understanding some situations or even some subject. People exchange knowledge between each other. Male show their knowledge at such spheres as computers and physic and female show their knowledge in literature and analyzing. In conclusion i want to say that friendship between sexes is a positive side of education.

it's better to be in co-ed schools though maybe, in many cases it's distracting but with the others, people tend to behave better and more sophisticated with others

in some subjects yes it would be better, but it may leave some children with a warped view of the opposite sex, and may lead to sexism. plus school can be seen as a way to prepare kids for adulthood, and when put in a environment where they have to deal with the opposite sex constantly, may be awkward for those who have had little dealings with working with the opposite sex before, I'm just going off a point of view and i have little to back my argument up,so it if someone could show me some statistics to back up either way it would be appreciated

Surely it can decrease how much one pays attention when they have the opposite sex to think about.

However, what good is school without the opposite sex to think about?

Because if you study with the same sex for a long time, and now you must work with a person with opposite sex, you'll feel uneasy. so it is better for children to study and work with people with opposite sex when they are still young. Co-ed schools are better.

if you are in a co education you build relationship with the other sex.due to this co education you will learn how to behave with the other gender.

coeducation is the need of the hour. it develops the communication between opposite genders,it increases respect towards each other and most important it reduces shyness and fear. the most important advantage of this purpose is that by exchanging ideas and cooperation, we can develop our country
