Single-Sex Schools

The National Association For Single-Sex Public Education's website is about the many advantages to single-sex schools. The purpose of most of the article Single-Sex Education is to inform the readers of the advantages of single-sex education. The rest of the article uses persuasive methods such as words with strong connotation like, misunderstood, good, and extraordinary to make you feel single-sex education is better.

The viewpoint of Single-Sex Education is not only that single-sex schools and classes are better for kids understanding but also that the learning and development is different according to gender. The text features on the site lead me to think this site is very professional. One picture in particular, is a link to a peer reviewed journal about Advances in Gender and Education edited by Margaret M. Ferrara Ph.D. Its important to consider the editor/writer because there credentials may not meet the best standers to have an "opinion" about certain topics.

The copyright date of this article is 2011. This is important to know because if the copyright was in the 1990's the data and statistics would not be up to date and not as reliable. The next thing I noticed was the lack of conflicting evidence in the article. It says a few words of the pros and cons but doesn't go into the cons in depth. This makes the article seem slanted and biased toward single-sex education. People need to see these slants and biased information so they aren't missing the other sides. in conclusion this article would be very helpful to people who are deciding between single-sex schools and coed schools. But they might want to find one more article mainly about coed schools.
