Single-sex education

Single-sex education, also known as single-gender education, is the practice of conducting education where male and female students attend separate classes or in separate buildings or schools. The practice was common before the nineteenth century, particularly in secondary education and higher education. Single-sex education in many cultures is advocated on the basis of tradition as well as religion, and is practiced in many parts of the world. Recently, there has been a surge of interest and establishment of single-sex schools due to educational research.

History

Before the 19th century, single-sex schooling was common. During the 19th century, more and more coeducational schools were set up. Together with mass education, the practice of coeducation was universalized in many parts. In 1917 coeducation was mandated in the Soviet Union. According to Cornelius Riordan, "By the end of the nineteenth century, coeducation was all but universal in American elementary and secondary public schools (see Kolesnick, 1969; Bureau of Education, 1883; Butler, 1910; Riordan, 1990). And by the end of the 20th century, this was largely true across the world. Wiseman (2008) shows that by 2003, only a few countries across the globe have greater than one or two percent single sex schools. But there are exceptions where the percent of single sex schools exceeds 10 percent: Belgium, Chile, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, and most Muslim nations. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in single sex schools in modern societies across the globe, both in the public and private sector (Riordan, 2002)."

    Girls' School

    by: Rasputina

    A happy start, a sad, sad ending
    for every minute of the story
    See as their wills are broke and bending
    See the good girls in their glory
    A primary academy, we're a secondary seminary teaching
    finishing rinse, and dancing tips and scorn
    Always concerned with plummeting virginity rates
    We lecture young girls on how babies are born
    Children! make a chain
    Oh, children! make a chain
    The staff here is severe, yet so altruistic
    It hurts us more than it hurts them
    The new girls are tender, the old ones sadistic
    The late janitress was a gem
    Don't believe what the boys from next door heard
    Requirements do include math
    (A happy start, a sad, sad ending
    for every minute of the story)
    We draw straws and put our best foot forward
    Down the straight and narrow path
    Listen to our pretty song, we are happy as the day is long
    Forget the things you thought you knew,
    we'll make a very good girl of you
    Listen to our pretty song, we are happy as the day is long
    Forget the things you thought you knew,
    we'll make a very good girl of you
    A pupil transferred here from Lavender Lake
    She wrote a winning essay on self-denial
    Some underage urchins were forced to matriculate,
    their records kept here undefiled
    A neat retreat slips through their fingers
    Which little girl made the plan?
    Surely involved were the vespers bell-ringers
    Down a ladder, through the gate, then they ran!
    Listen to our pretty song, we are happy as the day is long
    Forget the things you thought you knew,
    we'll make a very good girl of you
    Listen to our pretty song, we are happy as the day is long
    Forget the things you thought you knew,
    we'll make a very good girl of you
    And the girls ran out of the schoolyard and up the hill behind.
    "I'm scared!" said the littlest one.
    "Don't worry." said the leader.
    "They could catch us, or they could kill us,
