Girls can tame boys and influence excellence

Some of our folks have started segregation of sexes in schools. More parents are now enrolling their kids in same sex schools. If you think a little, why Parents are opting for this move, its obvious that our public school system has failed to keep our kids as a cohesive unit in our schools. Schools are where our kids spend much of their time learning to interact, expand their thinking and horizons.
We are now in the process of disrupting a natural phenomenon that can help our kids, especially our boys to succeed in this complex world. A world that they will set foot as adults in a few years time that may have an impact for a lifetime. A Researcher at Tel Aviv University has found that girls have a positive influence on boys in school. The study noted that the grades of boys in schools with girls improved considerably in mixed classrooms. professor Analia Schlosser, an economist at Tel Aviv University reports that not only did the boys score better grades but also had less violent outbursts. Her study was carried out at Princeton University on a fellowship. The study also noted that with more girls in primary school, helped bothe boys and girl students to do better on math and science while, girls in middle school had higher academic achivement in english and math. Overall the high school students had superior academics.According to Prof. Analia the reason why this works is because girls tend to have a positive influence on boys and prevent classroom disruption and create ties that bond boys and girls and the teacher. Professor Schlosser's interest in this study was from an amendment to title IX regulation that provides the local communities flexibility in single sex classroom education in schools. This is something we need to think deeply if we need to keep our kids in school at the same time help them excel in science and math. It's time that our educators and interested communities attempt a similar research in our diverse society and maybe it will make American kids future into science an easier transition.
