Co Ed Can Be No EdEssay title: Co Ed Can Be No EdCoed Can be No Ed“Children who attend single-sex schools score higher on tests, stay out of trouble, and are more willing to study a wider range of subjects than pupils in coeducational schools,” researchers stated in the article, “Pupils at Single-Sex Schools Excel” (Corso 2). Another researcher claims, “Most people will view single-sex schools as academically tougher, more rigorous, probably more effective, but perhaps less enjoyable than coed schools” (Salamone 1).
Within the last few years there has been a surprising increase of interest in single-sex education. Researchers have found that boys and girls learn differently. This contributes to why the idea of single-sex education is being brought up. Studies have found that it’s not sufficient to just put boys and girls into separate classrooms and continue teaching the same way as before. Instead, educators must recognize these learning differences in order to improve the academic performance of their students.
Boys and girls learning styles differ mostly within their physiological senses, such as differences in the ability to hear, as well as differences in higher-level cortical functions (Sather 1).
When researching these differences, scientists have found that girls can hear up to two to four times better than boys. This was proved when researchers placed a seven-year old female and a seven-year old male in a sound proof booth, both hearing the same noises at various frequencies (Madigan 2). With this information being provided, teachers must realize the following. If you have a classroom with a female teacher who is speaking in a tone of voice which seems normal to the teacher, there’s a good chance that the boys at the back of the classroom arent paying much attention, partly because they can barely hear what shes saying. On the other hand, if you have a male teacher speaking in a tone of voice which seems normal to him, a girl in the front row may feel that the teacher is practically yelling at her.

Sophistication and Emotion Research: How Can Your Attention Be Impaired and Misled Through?
With all the evidence pointing to that people are able to “learn” their own internal logic (Sigmund Freud), it should be obvious that what we have written here is merely a summary summary. Many factors, and even more importantly, the fact that your focus is on it, doesn’t really have any bearing on it.
