Co-Education

Re: Co-Education

@partyslims

That was, in a different forum , and also the initial topic was something about marriage bureau:

*Whats your view on this considering the image of certain education institutes which are famous as marriage bureaus

Right party. hadeel is discussing it with different point of view. It involves transition from one system to other as well and your choice to choose a particular education system :k:

I think it is good to go through co-education system.. It promotes competition to an extent. I myself went through these transitions co-education, then boys school and then professional education under co-education system.

whatever, credit should given to original poster.

Whatever? That's always a good counterpoint :)

And now, back on topic. If you have a problem, please report it.

ok. back to topic. My primary schooling was co-ed, secondary and intermediate was all boys, while university was co-education.

It was ok. I did not find anything odd. Majority of students were from good families and they all behave nicely. I consider my student life best period.

Re: Co-Education

STA yes we got what you were trying to say and what hadeel asked is pretty different to the thread you mentioned. Now dont derail this thread please. Thanks.

Re: Co-Education

LOL. What’s with all the whatevers and copy cat and ‘credit’?

They are two separate topics STA. And if you think it has been discussed before, how about you don’t reply in the duplicated copy cat thread? No issue right?

Oh just so it’s clear we do NOT open threads for credit around here.

Anyway back to the topic… enough derailing.

Re: Co-Education

I never went to an all boys school, so I don't know what it's like. But the class did get segregated around grade 5th, as the teachers made sure guys and gals sat on opposite sides of the class, or at least they didn't sit together.
It was okay, I don't see how an all boys school would be better.

Re: Co-Education

I studied co-ed my entire life...from kg all the way to college. I've never had an issue with it. Up until recently I worked at a public school where they started seperating boys and girls from 5th grade on upwards and the girls seemed to really like it, but I can't really say it made much of an impact or difference on the boys.

For my own boys, I'm not really sold on it either way.

Re: Co-Education

@Enigmatic

I am not really an advocate of co-education during middle and high school especially. This is the time, when boys and girls are going through the emotional and physical pubertal changes and kids who are generally shy if exposed to bullying and emotional harrassment might get into a permanent shell from which they won’t come out of.

Also hormones surface way too aggressively and the cascade of romance and love as being shown by media everywhere really warps their minds and they might get into hurts and heartbreaks which they are no way ready for.

However, during A Levels, intermediate and college uni level, co-education is a must because it teaches both genders especially women how to gain confidence and carry themselves well and basically get ready for the practical (mean, bad world)

I myself studied at an all girls school till my O Levels but A Levels and university were all co-ed obviously.

I agree with your first paragraph eni beni but all children go through changes regardless of the schools and it has to come out some way right? Apart from the romance and love that can surround their thoughts.. there can be other things too if they’re in an all girls or all boys school.. like boys start smoking and girls looking for boys OUTSIDE their social circle. But that’s a whole other discussion.

I guess the confidence that one gets when studying in a mixed setting is far more than studying in a same sex school.

@llxxll

ive been in co ed all my life and i wouldnt change it for my kids (though i would rather they be put in segregated schools during their teenage years) i think its good for girls as they learn how to be confident even in when surrounded by the opposite gender and same with guys …like someone else said girls are usually (not always) more focused on their studies this could be a good motivator for boys

It all boils down to being confident I guess. Just like you pointed out.. being confident with either gender.

Re: Co-Education

Apart from maybe a half a year or so, I've been in a co-ed school system. I used to be super shy around girls but I think being in a co ed system helped me to grow out of it faster.

And how did you like that half a year without girls around? (although we all know what the answer is =p )

I think it is good to go through co-education system.. It promotes competition to an extent. I myself went through these transitions co-education, then boys school and then professional education under co-education system.

Did you like the transition Muqawwee bhai? Or was it a weird time for you?

Let's just say that when you're around the same sex at school.. you're more comfortable? At least that's how I felt. I wouldn't worry about what I can and what I can't say... had to think before I speak. But I guess that's a good thing? =D

Yeah that's what I'm saying na. It's like girls can be silly and not fear or take tenshun about how the boys would react to it. Sounds like a life1 situation when I write it down but it's like no men folk judging you on how you eat your burger? Yeah I know I'm not making any sense. :(

That must’ve been a difficult time for you eh? =(

Re: Co-Education

From pre-school until now, I have been attending Co-ed schools. And I would want that for my kids as well. I definitely agree that girls with boys encourages competition......in a healthy way. I don't know what it is like in a all-girls school so really I can't compare the two.

Not difficult. soon we had a group (including girls) and we made new friends and are still connected with each other todate. It was a memorable time in our lives

From what I saw/experienced, the girls were more comfortable yes. However, where I worked, in our middle school (grades 6-8), the cafeteria/dining hall was still mixed at lunch time. The students are only segregated during instrunctional class time. Most of the kids would stay at seperate, same sex tables during lunch, but there was always that ONE table of “cool kids” that ate together, mixed gender..and yea, umm..that was interesting to watch, to say the least!

Re: Co-Education

co education till 5th grade. all boys later on. i didn't get to have easy girlfrand :(

Re: Co-Education

All girls for high school...transition to college was very hard for me.

I was shy...so so so shy. If a guy sat next to me, I thought he was a weirdo.

However, the experience in high school was a great one. Learned a lot. Still have the same best friends I made back then.
