Separate Education

I don't believe it is my job as a teacher to decide whether or not boys and girls should be educated separately. This is a choice for the parents and students. Schools should not mandate that boys and girls be educated separately  however I believe parents and students should be free to choose to attend an all boy or all girl school if that is what they desire. This is the beauty of us having so many different options for our education, we can choose to be educated as we please. In some cases, students may concentrate better without the distraction of the opposite sex, it would be unnecessary to take away students' privileges to attend same sex schools. The U.S. Department of Education agreed with this when they ruled that Title IX does not make single-sex schooling discriminatory as long as it is voluntary and takes place in an environment that also includes comparable co-educational schools and classes.
