Claim: Having a mixed-gender school can prepare students for real life experiences

While having single-sex schools can have its own advantages, having mixed-gender schools can be far better in preparing students for the real world, as it encourages social interactions and acceptance among both genders. In the real world, people have interactions with the opposite gender on a daily basis, and by having mixed-gender schools it teaches students the differences between both genders which helps them in establishing relationships in the real world. For example, since teamwork is required in most jobs, communications between co-workers in the workplace is essential to achieve successful results or to complete tasks. And if opposite genders understand how to treat one another then it will lead to better communication, which in turn leads to a more successful teamwork.

I disagree with Mohammad's point of view. being in a same-sex school is much better. students find it easy to show their interests to their same much better than showing it to the other gender. in this point a student in the same gender school will have enough place to show his hobbies and talents much more than a mixed gender school. and don't forget that every year in a mixed-gender school a huge number of female students get either pregnant or sexually harassed. so to sum up everything I've said before the same gender school is way much better than a mixed gender school.

Counter argument: Studies show that the difference between single-sex education and mixed gender schools in terms of academic performance is less than 1 percent and in other cases there was no difference. Also having mixed-gender schools allow for more socialization among students of opposite sex which prepares them for the real world. Lastly, since girls mature faster than boys, having students in mixed-gender schools can have a positive influence on both genders.
