There is a belief that by sending a child to a single sex school they can get away from the gender stereotypes that are typically seen in a co-educational learning atmosphere. Some of these stereotypes are placed on the students by society, others by facility, classmates, and themselves. William Pollack, in his book Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons From the Myths of Boyhood, writes “In girls’ schools, it is plain to see that some girls are poets, some are athletes. Some are historians or mathematicians, some are scientists or sculptors. Stereotypes about “acceptable” roles simply do not apply.” (What about Boys) By eliminating these gender based stereotypes the students are free to learn without worrying about the labels being placed on them.

In conclusion the advantages and disadvantages of attending a single sex school or co-educational school are now being looked into more closely when the decision is being made on which environment is best for a child to learn. Each school environment has pros and cons to offer the student. What is important is that the right learning environment is selected based on the one student and how they learn. When a student is not placed in the right learning environment for them they can begin to fall behind the rest of the class. It is important to keep in mind that neither learning environment has yet to show that is the best learning environment for all children to be taught in. This is why the question “Is a single sex school or a mixed school the best learning environment for my child?” is been asked more and more recently.

In addition u can also go through the articles by Bailey, S on Coeducation: A Case for Jewish Education.
