Advantages and Disadvantages to Single- Sex Schools

The website called Hub Pages has a reliable article called Advantages and Disadvantages of Single Sex Education. The viewpoint of this article is that there are really big advantages to single-sex schools but there are still some disadvantages as well. The authors purpose is to mainly help people figure out if single-sex schools are good for their children. The author shows this with facts and links to help the audience understand the concept more.



The first text feature I noticed was the links to different articles at the bottom of some of the paragraphs. Looking at these articles I found out that this was the authors way of citing their sources. This way people can double check what they are reading. There were pictures as well that showed single-sex classrooms and the learning environment of single-sex schools.


One important fact in this article I found, that wasn't broadcasted well, was the mentioning of government and budget cuts. This is very interesting and important because the school budgets are very low in some places and by having single-sex classrooms or schools can cost more money then some may think. The government also plays a big role because they have to confirm the schools decisions in changing the way the school teaches as well.



Also, at the very end of the article theres a subtitle which reads Updates. This is important to notice because this means the author is looking for feedback. This shows that data is consistantly changing and so is this article. That way the article is up to date and very clear. Finally, I believe that this would be a very helpful article to anyone deciding between single-sex schools and co-ed schools.
