Mr. T. H. - He should go to
the all-boys school.
Mrs. T. H. - He should go
to the co-educational school,
Mr. T. H. - It would be dif
ferent if we had no choice
in the matter. But our son
Hank has received a scholar
ship, through my union, (or
a private secondary school. It
has a high scholastic record,
and boys who graduate get
into the best colleges easily,
My wife wants him to turn
down the grant and go to the
local high school. She says
it's not good for a kid to be
in an all-boy environment,
The other school is co-ed.
Hank was all set to attend
the nearby school, but now
he's eager to try this acad
emy. I think he'll get a better
education there, but my wife
is trying to talk him out of it,
Mrs. T. H. - Hank is an
only child and I think it's im
portant for him to go to a
school where the environment
is more like that of the out
side world, like a big family,
I know I was handicapped
by going to an all-girl high
school. It took me years to
feel at ease among boys. I
used to giggle and blush in the
presence of such "strange"
creatures. Besides, there are
other factors. The private
school is an hour's train ride
away and Hank will lose all
that time commuting. His old
friends in the neighborhood
will drop him.
There's more to school than
just studies. Hank will get
more out of his high school
years if he stays here in town
in his natural circles.
The Councils The question
of what school for Hank can
only be answered via another
question: What docs Hank
need most right now? A boy
is entitled to attend the school
he can be most benefited by,
Those who know Hank best
his teachers, his parents, and
himself must talk with
those who know the two
schools best the guidance
counselors or principals, to do
a skillful matching job.
But the Council can help,
perhaps, by discussing the gen
eral pros and cons of the
separated school. Unexpected
ly we find recent studies
which stress the pro. The only
"con" which holds up, for
some teen-agers, is the one
raised by Mrs. H namely the
reduced opportunity for fos
tering healthy boy-girl rela
tionships. It follows, then,
that if the home, church, and
community can provide facili
ties for helping the adoles
cent to acquire social smooth
ness in his non-school hours,
his high school need not con
cern itself strongly with that
phase of his growth.
Hypothesizing about Hank,
Mrs. H., what if he's brilliant?
One survey, directed by Dr.
A. J. Tanncnbaum for Teach
ers college, Columbia univer
sity, finds that he's likely to
be miserable in a co-cd school
where "cheerful mediocrity"
is lionized. Girls, according
to Uiis study, attach less value
to a boy's academic achieve
ment than to his ability to
dance, play football, "shoot
the breeze." As a result,
bright boys often play down
their talents to avoid sociul
penalties among their peers.
In another investigation
this one by Dr. Walter B.
Waetjen of the University of
Maryland, it was found that
putting boys and girls in scp
arated classes speeds up learn
ing and improves behavior
He suggests that this is due
to important differences in
rates of maturity (girls arc
faster) and in acceptance of
authority (boys are slower)
Another disadvantage of keep
ing teen-agers in the same
classroom is the preoccupa
tion with "impressing" the
opposite sex.
All in all, if it's solid learn
ing that Hank is after, he'll
more likely get it from the
all-boys' ranks. The co-ed type
is likely to be "fragmented.
