As a teacher who has taught in co-ed, all girls and all boys schools over my career I can confidently state that there are benefits in having both learning environments (co-ed & single sex) available for students.
Gough is spot on. Morrison and Deves started this crap because they need to attack a minority to get some extra votes and it set off a s**t fight between those that are sensitive to the LGBTIQ communities and the knuckldraggers but by far, by far the worst thing about this "issue", is that where those that are sensitive and supportive of the LGBTIQ community, are engage in fisty cuffs as well over an issue which is just plain common sense!
Nope, just able to grasp the putridity of this "issue".
Yeh nah. You haven't been on the front line of the gender wars. Go visit a university.... Censorship, curtailment of academic freedom, real George Orwell type stuff going on.
Do you realise equal and opposite bad-faith arguments can be made against pro-trans people? “If you care so much about women’s rights why do you wanna let men into their bathrooms and kick their arse in sports”
Without derailing the thread too much (as it really is a completely separate discussion) there are definitely the social benefits in co-ed (although I would argue that the majority of social skill building done at school can be so easily lost if the home dynamic doesn't share the values being taught). However, GENERALLY speaking, males and females have different approaches to learning. I could easily have an 80min theory lesson with an all female class with the majority of the class maintaining their focus on the topic. Doing that in an all male class is a recipe for a rubbish lesson and, instead, you would plan to break up the content delivery with regular activities. You'll find that most all male schools will have a timetable filled with a greater number of shorter periods during the day compared to all female schools.
Im assuming you think all girls schools shouldnt exist as well.
Yeh I know haha. It's basically saying 'gender critical views' are absolutely philosophically and ethical legit. It is just viewing the world through a different conceptual scheme. Trans activists who decry gender critical views as transphobic are stifling legit academic debate
Would seem not.
Yeah righto sonny.
As a boy who went to a same sex boy school we do not benefit from being at a boy school. It was a form of prison. I felt like a key part of my teenage years was missing.
An education with no distractions!
The irony of trans activism is that it advocates for a non-binary understanding of sex with arguments of 'you are either with us 100% or you are a trans phobe' - nice binary logic there.
