Now many parents are sending their sons and daughters to single-sex schools believing that the educational environment fostered by a single gender is more conducive to learning than a co-educational school. Is it really the case? The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

YES
Boys and girls distract each other from their education, especially in adolescence as their sexual and emotional sides develop. Too much time can be spent attempting to impress or even sexually harassing each other.
Academic competition between the sexes is unhealthy and only adds to unhappiness and anxiety among weaker students. As Tricia Kelleher, a school principal, argues, "rather than girls defining themselves by their interests, they define themselves by what the boys think of them or what other girls think boys think of them".
Furthermore, John Silber, President of Boston University, declared that his university would prioritize male applications in order to even up the student composition and ensure the male population did not become "ungentlemanly" towards women due to their numerical inferiority. A single-sex environment is therefore a space where children can learn without feeling pressurized by the other sex.
NO
In fact boys and girls are a good influence on each other, engendering good behavior and maturity—particularly as teenage girls usually exhibit greater responsibility than boys of the same age.
Academic competition between the sexes is a spur to better performance at school. Any negative effects of co-educational schools have been explained away by studies as the result of other factors, such as "classroom size, economic discrepancies and cultural differences".
Furthermore, the separation of boys and girls only serves to embrace sexual objectification, for they exist for each other only as dates rather than the classmates they would be in a co-educational environment. Allowing them into the same educational environment, in part to permit them to distract each other, is a welcome social development as well as a beneficial learning curve.

答案
Should Boys and Girls Be Taught Separately? While single-sex education has long existed in many private schools, it’s a relatively new option for public schools. It has triggered a debate among the public whether boys and girls should be taught separately. Some believed that single-sex education avoid sexual distraction and academic competition between the sexes and children can learn without feeling pressurized by the other sex. However, some supported co-education is better for children’s performance and social development. Personally, I think single-sex schools are more effective and desirable. Firstly, single-sex education enhances students’ success when teachers use techniques geared towards the gender of their students. For instance, boys prefer to study in a competitive way while girls prefer a cooperative way. Secondly, we have good evidence that single-sex classrooms can break down gender stereotypes, particularly when teachers have appropriate vocational skills. Some research and reports from educators suggest that single-sex education can broaden the educational prospects for both girls and boys. Girls in single-sex educational settings are more likely to take classes in math, science and information technology. Boys, on the other hand, can more easily pursue traditionally "feminine" interests such as art, music, drama and foreign languages. Both girls and boys have more freedom to explore their own interests and abilities than in the co-educational schools. Though single-sex schools are relatively few in our nation’s education system, they are offered as an option.
