Describe the benefits of single-sex schools and those of mixed ones.

That's a difficult question. When both girls and boys are studying together, I think they can realize that they are all equal, and that girls can do things as well as, if not better than, the boys most of the time. I think it is an important concept for children to understand because our society is sometimes still unfair to women. In addition, I think that co-ed (= mixed) schools offer a better representation of our society, as well as a chance for boys and girls to make friends and get to know the way the other sex thinks. Girls might learn from the boys how to be more out-going and adventurous, and boys might learn how to behave more carefully from the girls. We always say that girls become mature earlier.
On the other hand, unisex schools usually have a great reputation, and a lot of parents want to send their kids there. As a result, students are motivated, so good teachers want to work there. The academic level may be better. These schools might have the advantage to concentrate on the gender's needs and skills. For example, teachers might be more demanding in science classes with the boys, and they might expect more from the girls in the arts subjects. On top of this, girls won't be influenced by naughty boys, and the boys won't have to think too much about the girls when they get older. They can all focus on their studies rather than flirt and spend time observing each other.
