Separate but Equal?
It is now known to all that the slogan “separate but equal” was just a lie to fool themselves in the turbulent times of the Civil Rights Movement. Most people might not associate this with separating boys and girls into different schools, but as far as I see the very existence of single-sex school reeks of sexual discrimination and hardly has any educational meaning in it, no matter how people have sugarcoated it.
Anyone who knows only a little about the history of education would agree that women in the past were far less likely to go through a proper education like men did. Even in modern times when women were allowed into the education system, what a girl was taught was totally different from the subjects required for a boy. The establishment of single-sex schools had two purposes: to cultivate male elites and to train eligible housewives. This separation may sound less appalling than that of the blacks and whites, but the essential idea was alike: men are superior than women. Not until recently did co-educations chools become a prevailing phenomenon, which was achieved by generations who sought true equality among all.
Although the decrease in the number of single-sex schools has been an indisputable fact, there are still some diehard apologists advocating the benefits of single-sex education. Whether it is out of their “unique” educational perspectives or some ulterior motives, I won’t presume. The fact is that most single-sex schools still exist mainly because tradition demands it. If these schools are truly so excellent in educating their students as they allege, why can’t they admit the opposite sex? Tailor-designed education for aspecific gender, which are those advocators favorite pretext, sounds pretty discriminatory to me because that was similar to what the white people said when the black-only facilities were implemented. Another one is the “infamous” adolescentromantic relationships which are more likely to occur in a co-ed school. This one is tricky because most parents and school administrators would agree that these unguided feelings might cause serious academic problems. Sounds plausible, right? But when we put some real thinking into these, parents and school administrators are not afraid of “puppy love” itself, which is a very naturaland common thing for any human being. What they really fear is theuncontrollable consequences that would ensue, to which the solution is both easy and tough: a proper sex education, a responsibility which almost no adultwants to undertake.
Sadly, as you can see, the problem of whether boys and girls shouldattend separate schools has little to do with the education of the children. Rather, it’s about equal rights, the irrational sense of tradition, and spineless adults who wouldn’t take responsibilities. Though many people naturally think the problems raised in the field of education are about children, in reality, almost none of them are. Only when the adults who design the system truly understand what the children want and put aside any self-interests, can we be eligible to sit down and talk this through respectfully.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
