Should we stop segregating sports classes in schools by gender?

In the real world, the sexes are usually going to be competing against each other. Might as well get the students used to it.

I believe we should stop segregating sports classes in schools by gender because of the following:

1. Sports are taught to impart a skill to the student

2. Sports are taught to show how exercise can be helpful to fitness, coordination and stamina

3. Sports are taught to impart teamwork skills.

All of the above are important and gender has nothing to do with any of the three. Therefore I believe sports classes should not be split my gender.

All three of your reasons for coed sports are just as achievable in segregated classes. When you consider how horny teenagers are, its seems wise to separate them.

Should homosexual students be barred from participating in gender-segregated sports, then?

today you say yes mate,but when the girls' participation would plummet as daboiz would enjoy their superiority and they would face some sort of harrassment at the hands of the other lot(the boys) ,you would say "no".Authorities concerned are no "mighty fools".

I have seen on evidence that coed physical education courses serve students any less efficiently than segregated courses do. I certainly never suffered from having been in them. The risks of segregation, however, are fairly apparent in my opinion.

While physicality differences between biological males and biological females will generally hold consistent, they are both exaggerated and non-absolute averages. The exaggeration stems from historically unfounded and sexist views that categorized women as inherently physically inferior to a significant degree, without any real scientific basis; this is why Class IX had to happen in the first place. Further, for those students (male and female) who are exceptions to the actual biophysical norms being stuck in segregated courses can be damaging either by imposing underexertion or overexertion.

Additionally, neither sex nor gender actually exist on a binary so segregated courses will inevitably leave intersex and gender queer students in a grey area. This is not only a practical problem, but can further isolate such students and open them up to harassment and bullying.

I didn't know that was still an issue.

I feel that since the competition isn't for anything, and everyone gets a grade regardless, that no one has anything to lose by playing with someone who physically out classes them. I mean if we're dividing people up so that they can compete better, why don't we just put all the bookish people in a separate class from the athletic people as well?

Yes, because it's makes it easier for the girls to win in school sports... Like the boy and girl best scores are way off, so like any fairly good girl could win.

Here's the thing, biologically speaking males are naturally more capable for certain physical activity, as are women more capable to do others better. So the classes should focus on what each gender needs to focus on for a successful habit of exercise to be made. Students should be able to choose if they want to focus on what the other gender is working on though.

So why continue the cycle?

Why not put females and males through the same exercises so that genes are altered, thus bringing the next genderations closer to being physiologically equal?

I agree, that would be ideal. But completely impossible to successfully do in our society. The school systems won't push to advance students like that, in fear of upsetting parents. Which is why I included it should be a choice, they should have both class types though

How would this be accomplished? Would women sacrifice some of the organs that make them unique for a bit more space for the muscle that they would use to play American football? Do you realize that both men and women have been doing manual labor for millennia? Yet men are still generally stronger and women more flexible. If the genes did magically alter because a few girls started wrestling instead of playing volleyball, and some men started participating in professional netball, resulting in the differences between the sexes disappearing, we had better learn how to reproduce asexually.

No boy is going to join gymnastics, for example, if the whole class is made up of girls.

Strange. Being surrounded by girls is incentive for boys to join most things. They're led by their penises.

Y'know?

Side: No

I disagree with that, because I know countless of boys and girls who just did what they wanted. A boy in my school played flute even though he got hell for it, a girl played wrestling, and so forth.

Of course, that does raise the question of who is to blame for that sexism. I don't believe it's because boys are better suited for specific physical activities, rather society who judges. We can't simply change societies views, but we can at least give students an option to be brave enough to question their own.

My physical education courses - sports, fitness, and weight training - were all coed. It really was not an issue. Honestly, initial physical health was far more relevant and noticeable. A lot of the gendered norms about physical ability are exaggerated, rendering it less of a concern than one might think in coed courses and also lending credibility against segregating courses since it can facilitate sex-based discrimination due to those exaggerations.

unless it's segregated boys would deprive the other lot(the girls) of their share,girls' participation would plummet and then you ld all say we shud hav said "no" to this topic.Authorities concerned are no fools in segregating these classes being fully aware of the"other" risks involved in it.
