Author’s Argument: Does not agree that single sex education has a benefit.
Claim: "Benefits of single-sex schooling remains unclear"
Evidence: Derived from National Tests and public examinations in England. This whole study of single-sex edu. vs. Co-ed. all originated in 1969,1971,1974 from "Dale" stating that co-edu. provided a happier enviorment for the students. In the USA it has been said that girls do benefit from single sex education, (Lee&Bryk 1986). Positive effect on girls from single sex-edu. has been reported in Irland(hannan et al., 1996), Belgium (van houtte, 2004b), Hong kong (wong et al., 2002), Nigeria (lee & lockheed, 1990) and Australia (rowe, 1988).... spielhofer et al. (2004). KS2 1996 linked to 2001 GSCE showed that boys over all performed better in single sex grammar schools but especially lower level boys also did surprisingly better in single-sex schools. About 3959 schools and 497,161 people were involved development of this study.
Assumptions: Some believe that single sex-education shows better results for students only because they test and admit the best of the best. In other terms only smart students can get into these schools although not all single-sex schools admit only extensively smart students into their facilities.
Why do you think this is a credible source?: Data for this essay was derived from National Tests and public examinations from England.

Author’s Argument: Single sex education is better than coeducation.
Claim: "There was also strong evidence suggesting that pupils achieve higher progress in the independent sector compared to grammar education."
Evidence: First of all single sex education was in the United States publicly until the 19th century. it has been said that the united states does not practice single-sex education due to expenses. Coeducation has risen and taken over schooling because the price of one school vs. supporting two separate schools is allot cheaper so America turned to coeducation according to Tyack and Hansot (1990) and Hawtry (1986). Also the rise of feminism, women's rights movement and the passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 strenthed the fact that public schools should be co-ed. Research shows that SS (single-sex) schools mainly benefit those with specific needs or disabilities compared to students who were not in need of specific help. The Department of Edu. does give communities the opportunity to decide if they want to offer SS schools or classes. Some say separate is "inherently unequal" (phrase taken from the Brown vs. Board of Education). "Greenberger, from the Nation Woman's Law Center, characterized single-sex education as, 'an invitation to discriminate'." National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education said that the same out come can be achieved from coeducation by just making the classes smaller, getting better teachers and parents taking a bigger role in their child's education. SS schools does not offer AP course which is said to bring out teasing among those who can take these courses.
