There is a change in the air: more parents are choosing to send their children to mixed or co-educational schools, traditional single-sex independent schools are becoming co-ed and, in a few years, most public schools in NSW will also be co-ed.
This week Rob and Chris discuss the arguments for and against these changes, while reflecting on their experiences as parents and teachers in single-sex schools.
Topics covered
- What factors should parents consider when choosing the right school for their child
- Advantages and disadvantages of mixed or co-educational environments
- Advantages and disadvantages of all-girls or all-boys environments
- Do girls and boys have different learning styles?
- Socialising and bullying at single-sex schools
- Addressing misogyny within all-boys schools
- Privilege, equity and social mobility
