What is your opinion on gender-specific education?

I think gender segregated schools for the most part are prone to the same issues as race segregated schools. The idea of separate but equal may be fine in theory but in reality things are either not equal or people think they're not. Look at the issues we're already having related to gender segregated sports and restrooms.

I know some argue that gender segregation is the answer to a system that favors girls, but I would rather fix our current system to equally teach boys and girls. Knowing the history of feminism, if we moved to gender segregated public education, the schools for boys would probably be horrible compared to the schools for girls.

Your question: "What is your opinion on gender-specific education?"

Your term "gender-specific education" is undefined and misleading. What you describe below refers to segregation sex, what you refer to as gender. Gender-specific refers to aiming certain lessons exclusively to one gender or the other.

Unfortunately, deranged hackers or the software they have set upon me is interferring with this site, making it difficult to enter a response.

Gender segregation is in my opinion, something taken to extremes tends to support unwarranted cultural schemas about males and female stereotypes.

As noted above, deranged hackers seeking to bully online users here and probably elsewhere are making the editing window at my end difficult to use. I am sure the criminals in question do the same to other users and on other sites every chance they get. So your comments will have no more consideration from me:

" I am interested to hear your opinion on girls-only or boys-only schools. My opinion on the matter is that gender-specific education is detrimental to the emotional development of children and adolescents. This world will always have both males and females so I for one do not see the point of gender segregation and I believe that students in gender-specific schools would not develop crucial social skills that would serve them throughout their lives. I believe that through segregation of the genders, individuals would not learn how to interact with the opposite sex which I think is very important to the development of confidence, especially later in life. I believe that it is a completely natural thing for an individual to be attracted to the opposite sex and that people shouldn't shy away from talking about it. Physical attraction towards the opposite sex is something that is always going to exist, and I believe that trying to pretend like it's not there, is just going to confuse teenagers even more than they would normally be at an adolescent age. I'm an open-minded individual so if you disagree with me that is perfectly fine (obviously) but I'm just mentioning this so that you are not afraid to express your opinion as honestly as you might want. I am curious to see how many of you agree with me, and if you disagree with me please explain why. The purpose of me posting this question is understand the perspective of different individuals with different viewpoints. Thank you."

I should note that the bulk of questions appearing at my site are contrived, typically from paid spammers or volunteers who are only looking for persons to harass or victimize. They, too, have enemies and prefer to extend their war on humanity online simply because in general they are psychotic predators with no interest in the welfare of humanity. If they had other weapons besides hacking software, they would use those weapons, too.

I agree on the whole, but think that some subjects such as sexual education are better in gender divided classes.
