I personally think single-sex education is a great idea. Everyone knows that playing "the mating-dating game" is a huge distraction and definately takes away from the time you could be using to study or do other school work. I know from personal experience that dating someone ultimately takes your focus away from school things that you're supposed to be focusing on, whether it be just texting them in class or skipping the class all together to grab lunch with them. It might just be me because I have horrible time management skills, but girls play a huge distraction when I'm trying to get work done. I believe that if I was to attend a single-sex education facility, such as the one we read about, I would be able to be more focused on the things I'd need to be focused on and wouldn't be so worried about impressing some cute girl in my Monday class.
But as for the arguement presented in the reading, if society is allowed to have female single-sex education, then it's only fair that men are allowed to have the same opportunity if they wish. You can't take away one and not the other. That would show sexism and totally take away from what people have been trying to accomplish forever, equality. And if we took away one of these institutions, then like dominos, all the others would soon follow.
