Hi, Whyville. I was reading the newspaper today, and I came
across an interesting article. One of the schools in my city is putting all of
the grade 7 girls in one class, all the grade 7 guys in another class, all the grade
8 girls in one class, and all of the grade 8 guys in another class.
I think this is a very stupid idea. I'm glad I don't go to that school.
I wouldn't want to have an all-girl class. Why? Because the teacher would give
us a 'talk'. Ew. In the article, it said, "For the girls, the biggest benefit is
their confidence grows, they're not afraid to speak their mind in class without
the boys saying, "Oh this is stupid," that kind of thing. So their confidence
increases."
How could you stand having a one gender class? One guy said, "We just think it's
stupid because it'll be more boring... And some guys in our class have most
friends that are all girls." I have guy friends, too. A girl said, "It's
going to be kind of boring next year because the guys entertain us. They do some
really funny things."
If that happens to OUR school, I would complain! I couldn't stand not being
around some of my friends for the next 2 years! I think the kids in that school
should just have guy and girl classes so their socializing increases.
Here's some more things that students and parents said: "It kind of insults me
that they're using our school as a guinea pig school. If they're going to do
this, they should use all of the schools instead of one school."
I think that the guys and girls need to be together. They can learn from each
other.
Well, that's all, folks!
