答案                   My Views on Single-sex Education
    It is reported that one middle school in Shanghai offered two boys only classes in order to help them become more masculine and improve their academic performance. However, after a second thought, we can find single-sex education has several pitfalls that may give rise to severe problems. Thus, I do not support it.
    First of all, why are boys not as masculine as before? Is the combination of boys and girls in one class the real reason for it? Conspicuously, we can find that there are more female teachers than male ones, exerting much influence on the formation of boys’ characters. And also, due to the traditional thought preferring boys to girls, boys are often more likely to be spoiled by their parents. Growing under such circumstances, many boys are accustomed to being cared for, so they sometimes behave like their counterparts. In addition, it seems rather ridiculous to attribute boys’ poor academic performance to having classes with girls together. Academic performance is under the influence of a number of factors. What’s the point in offering courses to boys only in the hope of enhancing their academic performance?
    In brief, it needs further study to find out the root-cause of boys’ less masculinity and poor academic performance, rather than rashly ascribe the problem to the designing of courses. Otherwise, it may not only leave the problem unresolved but make it even worse.
