In the lecture, Dr.

Mary Frosch mentions disadvantages and advantages of single-sex education for

girls. The author begins by showing three drawbacks of all girls schools. The segregation based on
the sex is considered as outdated ideas and result in diffirences of educational oppotunities between
boys and girls.Students in Same-sex schools are also restricted the interaction with the opposite sex
and lack the knowledge of the way to feel comfortable with each other. Besides, single-sex
education is unable to offer a “ smooth transition” into real society without making preparation for
them of boys and girls.In the other hand , evaluating “ unique qualities ” of feminity is the first
advantage pointed out in the lecture . Girls have abilities to think astractly and work for a long while.
Girls are also inclined to be cooperative instead of be competitive; therefore, girls are good at
working in collaboration with others. Moreover, single-sex education motivates girls’ self-assurance
in the absence of boys. Girls can feel free to help others as well as making requests for assistance if
needed. Even though in same-sex schools girls are separated from the world where rules are mainly
established by men, they can have enough confidence to create the better society.
