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.

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.

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.
A distraction gives an active mind something secondary to pay attention to, so that its primary object of attention doesn't end up being push aside by some mental fantasy. Hearing a teacher drone on is the most boring thing ever, having the hot girl in front of you bend down and show her tong as she gets something from her bag is enough of a distraction to actually keep your head off the desk, or your mind paying attention to what goes on in the room. A parallel might be made by how I study. I can not concentrate on something in complete silence, i quickly go into lucid daydreaming, become too antsy or fall asleep. I also can not concentrate very well with a lot of various noise; a happy medium is best.
I'm being serious, most women are not really all that attractive.Then again, I have high standards. Who is the real alpha male, the guy who wastes his time chasing tail or the guy who knows shes an easy slut and would rather read a good book or learn how to use something he won't get a STD from? Guys that actively try are lame, the real alpha male doesn't care; he already has girls tripping for him. The truth is that an active social life naturally equals an active sex life. Having a female in class just gives guys a new toy to play with if they feel like bothering with it. Its not something any actual alpha male finds distracting, they take that stuff in stride. If the non-alphas are so distractable, then clouds out the window will quickly replace girls, or anything really; they would find some excuse to act out.
Education takes up a large part of life, an important part of life which effects education is the emotional support and well being a person has. Touch is also an important human need that can lead to people neglecting their studies. For example, I spent the night at a friends house last night to cuddle with a girl[ I shouldn't go farther with her...yet, if i do decide to at all, for if I did it would eventually get around and our two other friends which are interested in me and me in them would just cause drama or become distant; its a interesting predicament i have found myself in but if i play it right, which will be easy but take time, well... :) ]. I should of been studying. co-education allows for more social interaction which can lead to strong support structures. My emotional needs are well satisfied. I know these women because of my education. If my education was single sex i would not know them and considering my non-education social circles are near exhausted when it comes to available women I might actually try to search for companionship instead of studying. It is easy to see members of the opposite sex, but it takes more effort if their not naturally integrated into the places you spend the most amount of time. That effort distracts away from studies. Another example, a recently single girl I went to high school with and which I am hoping to start something up with is also taking summer classes at my college, this allows for opportunities which wouldn't be available otherwise. I'm mainly pursuing these opportunities because one of my favorite girls has became very unavailable due to how her work schedule and responsibilities match up with my work and school schedule. Not sleeping on the occasional Thursday will be my best bet to see her, as you can imagine its not the best thing to do since it screws up my sleeping schedule, affecting my education. Basically I'm saying that removing the distraction of the opposite sex from class increases the distraction of it through out life and either causes basic needs to be unmeet or studying to be neglected; neither is healthy. Single sex education takes what comes naturally from social interactions and turns it into something contrived. This contriving takes effort, and a more focus effort at that. Your focus should be on fulfilling your higher need of education, not on more basic ones of emotional support and physical touch. Occasionally deciding to take advantage of the many opportunities to keep valuable emotionally attached relationships alive to the immediate determent of education allows for more healthy, attentive, less distracted students in the long run. However the more these students have to take those opportunities opposed to ones which don't really distract away from education the more education suffers in the long run. co-ed education naturally allows for opportunities which are integrated into the educational environment such that they are much less likly to lead to a lack of studying, fantasying on unfulfilled needs well the teacher is lecturing, etc.
Holy shit man, possibly the longest rebuttal I have ever refuted... since quoting you would be absolutely ridiculous...
1.) A distraction for one is not a distraction for all. What you are stating is purely opinionated. To me having a teacher drone on about what I am supposed to be learning is how I function properly. Having one distraction could lead me to not pay attention to what is happening for the rest of the class period.
2.) There is at least one girl per class that I find attractive. The others are merely meh. The real alpha male is the one all the girls want to be with, so the ones that are trying to be the alpha male ( whether succeeding or not ) are still distracting themselves if not everyone else. So you are saying an actual alpha male wouldn't find average girls attractive, making all the other 'regular' guys find them attractive if not a distraction. Tell me how many alpha males do you think are in a class room...?
3.) So essentially you have problems socializing outside of the classroom. I can pick a girl up anywhere whether I previously have known her or not. Theater, restaurant, boardwalks, one time at the tax collectors. I can get touch without knowing that someone from school, not by a long shot. The whole middle of that paragraph seems like a story, or you venting on women. Either way it is just blabbering.
Women are still distracting, and vice versa for women.
1) Its a difference in learning styles then. Perhaps for some single sex education is better because it gets rid of distraction. However co-ed education would be better for others because some minds are too active to have only one point of focus. My mind follows tangents from the lesson well the lesson is being taught, which can cause a lucid daydream on the tangent. Having other things to focus on during the lesson stops these tangents from being so attractive to follow, keeping my mind in the room.
2) I view alpha male as more of a personality then a ranking in todays society. Every women has 20 or more guys she likes at a given time, its not like theres not multiple guys in a class which all the girls are attracted to. I'm also saying that a responsible person, a alpha type of person as well as most of the non-alpha types, will be able to handle minor distractions. A women in class is no major distraction. There might be ONE, if any, that actually are a minor distraction; the rest are meh. That one minor distraction is like the sound of a clock ticking on the wall; its only distracting if nothing is going on and the room is completely silent except the clock. Occasionally you'll look at the clock and appreciate it for being there, but its usually not distracting.
3) There is a difference between a pick up, and being polyamorous. Pickups are easy, but they don't provide for deep emotional needs just sexual/egotistical ones. Also, you don't want pickups. If you can pick her up that easily, so could damn near any other guy. Its not healthy to have needs of touch(which is more then just sexual/egotistical needs anyways) satisfied primarily though pickups. It was a story, which did digress some i admit and it needed more focus, but it was also an example. You can multi-task and focus on higher level needs if your means of finding relationships are passive and integrated into your life.
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.
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
en, i got straight As in my 8th grade science class and i was always half/full asleep in it. Economics and government class senior year of high school I could of sleep though and passed, German i would of failed no matter what, In art I wouldn't of got much done by sleeping um... hmm. Most of my classes it wouldn't of mattered. Good thing most artists are Hot.
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.
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
