Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate 
schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from 
attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your own 
opinion.
A number of people argue that it is better for boys and girls to get an 
education from different schools, while others believe that it is more 
beneficial for children if they attend combined schools. Although studying 
in separate schools will help boys and girls to focus more on their studies, 
I believe learning from co-educational institutions will help them to 
become more social in society.
On the one hand, when boys and girls attend separate schools, they will 
spend more time focusing on their studies. This is because there will not 
be any opposite gender to be attracted to and to get involved in any 
affairs. The schooling hours will be fully utilised to learn something rather 
than being diverted from studies and spending time with the ones they 
might have affair with in the school. For example, in Nepal, students from 
St. Mary’s Girls School showed a better academic performance than the 
girls who completed their school years from a co-educational institution. 
However, I believe that children attending mixed school will learn to be 
more social in the future. 
On the other hand, co-education is more beneficial for children because 
they will learn some social skills during their school years. This is to say 
that children of both genders will be allowed to have combined studies 
and will learn how to deal politely with a person of the opposite sex, an 
important skill which is highly accepted by society. For example, boys who 
finished their studies at co-educational schools showed more courtesy 
towards ladies by offering some help when required. For this reason, it is 
better for children to attend mixed schools as it helps them to learn 
essential social skills.

In conclusion, although educating children in separate schools will help 
them to focus on their studies, I believe that co-education is much better 
for girls and boys as they will learn essential social skills in school.
