Debate:Does single sex schooling promote homosexuality? (view source)

Of course not. There's plenty of time for kids and teens to socialise with the opposite sex outside of school, whether in single sex schooling or not. If anything, single sex schools increase the want to be with the opposite sex, as curiosity arises amongst the students. I myself attended a single sex school and found that almost every girl there was heterosexual, whereas in the local mixed schools, there were a few homosexual students. However, noone is sure of the cause of homosexuality, and therefore it is unfair to say whether schooling has anything to do with it. --[[User:LauraF|LauraF]] 08:59, 25 February 2009 (EST)

:An interesting debate, but perhaps based on a faulty premise. After all, single sex schools are not prisons! In my opinion, single sex schooling is actually an asset in formative years to the prevention of homosexuality. By keeping boys with boys and girls with girls, traditional [[gender roles]] are reinforced. People who may be susceptible to [[gender confusion]] will have their problems straightened out at an early stage. If you see a sheep straying from the flock, you should bring it back and keep the flock tight together. If it strays too far, it may be lost forever... Same sex schooling does its service in reinforcing masculinity and feminity, as well as amplifying the interest in the opposite sex. In this sense, I agree with LauraF, though I don't agree with her final assessment. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 12:03, 25 February 2009 (EST)
