Boys and girls should not attend separate schools.
We are humans living among humans. Humans comprise of men and women. In
fact, a person does not exit except being a man or a woman. [B]It is written:
“Male and female he created them.”[/B] Therefore, it is no wonder to say that
the relationship between men and women is the most natural one in the world.
As we know, a person’s childhood years, from birth until twelve years of
age, are the most important. All the information I have read about that
time of life states that these are the years that form us. These years
determine what kind of a person the child will become. During these years
we learn about relationships, begin our formal education and develop our
moral sense of right and wrong.
By isolating boys and girls in separate schools, we derive them of normal
childhood. Thus, a series of negative effects will accompany them through
out their lives.
They will not enjoy the kaleidoscope of friendship as others will, because
their opportunities of establishing friendship with the opposite genders
has been greatly diminished. Even worse, they might have been indoctrinated
with false belief on boys or girls. The stereotypes and myths they have
learned in their early days will make them unlikely to have smooth
communication with people. Consequently, their satisfactory level in future
career will be lowered, since today’s business has enter the partnering
era which put more emphasis on quality relationship—the key to survival
rather than an option in last century.
When these boys and girls grow up, they will enter marriage.[B] It is written:
“It is not good for the man to be alone.”[/B] How they choose their life
partner greatly relies on their childhood experience. They often conceive
improper concept on the true meaning of love and marriage. Various
researches have shown that they often suffer from unhappy marriage and
their divorce rate is twice higher than the average. [B]It is also written:
“Be fruitful and increase in number.”[/B] Naturally, these couples will have
children. Apparently, children of unhappily married or divorced parents
often become victims of many psychological unhealthiness, loneliness and
depression for instance. If the percentage of this kind of families in our
society is significantly high, we humans, as a unity, will definitely be
troubled by lots of social problems.
Therefore, I cannot agree with the statement that boys and girls should
attend separate schools.
