答案 Which form of education is more desirable for children—co-education, where boys and girls attend school together, or single-sex schools? To answer this, one should first think about the aim of education at school. Cramming children’s heads full of knowledge is by no means the main purpose. The more important goal is to prepare them to take their place in adult society. As this society is made up of males and females, a segregated school consisting only of members of the same sex cannot serve this purpose well. By contrast, a co-educational school is far preferable in achieving this aim, offering students nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, and to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are in a position to compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. In this way, boys don’t grow up imagining that women are mysterious creatures and girls don’t grow up scared of men. Years of associating with each other at school dispel illusions of this kind. Those against co-education hold that the environment will probably lead children to puppy love which will then serve as an obstacle to their academic achievement. They believe segregated schools will prevent such things from happening. In fact, it is likely to make matter worse. Love is a normal physical and emotional need in the process of one’s growing-up. Such a desire can not be effectively suppressed. As a matter of fact, when you try to suppress it by separating boys from girls, you achieve the exact opposite. Alternatively, members of the same sex spend all their time together as they will seek to satisfy their need for intimacy. As a result, segregated schools may breed sexual deviation. In co-educational schools, it cannot be denied that the flower of love between boys and girls may blossom too early. But this is not necessarily as harmful as many educators may think. What we need to do is to teach them how to deal with problems about love when they occur. In conclusion, co-educational schools, rather than segregated schools offer the proper place for children to become well-adjusted citizens in society.
