<p>Here is my essay, exactly as I wrote it in 30 minutes. Please score it and give advice. :D</p>
<h2>Prompt: Some high schools in the United States have considered creating separate classrooms for male and female students in subjects such as mathematics and science. Some educators think separate classes will be beneficial because students will be less distracted from learning. Other educators think having separate classes for females and males will not be beneficial because it seems to support false stereotypes about differences in ability between males and females. In your opinion, should high schools create separate classes for male and female students?</h2>
<p>The improvement of education in the United States is an issue of paramount importance. Many have suggested seperate classes for males and females in subjects such as mathematics and science in order to reduce distractions. Others had disagreed with this proposal stating its support of false stereotypes. Such a proposal would in no way be beneficial to the education system because it would create unequal opportunity, less mixing of ideas, and unfair funding.</p>
<p>It is best to keep co-educational classes in all subjects because seperate classes would feed false stereotypes and create unequal opportunity. Such a policy would promote the notion that female students are unable to perform well in mathematics and science simply because they are female. Females would believe in themselves less thereby decreasing performance and education. Also, these enforced false stereotypes would create an atmosphere of ridicule and discrimination against female students in the sciences.</p>
<p>Classes with both males and females would be of greater educational value because they would have a greater mix of ideas. Different perspectives are crucial for developing new and better ideas and theories. A plethora of perspectives creates an atmosphere with greater educational vitallity. Different ideas from both males and females allow theories to be analytically challenges and therefore improved.</p>
<p>Financially, seperate classes would create an unfair discrepency in funding. The parents of both male and female students all pay equal taxes and deserve an equal return of educational funding. Just as occured with African American schools before the Civil Rights movement, female classes might have older textbooks, worse teachers, and worse laboratory equipment.</p>
<p>One might argue that seperate classes help reduce distractions and improve education. Such a belief is simply incorrect because the amount of distractions between males and females is almost the same as the amount of distractions between members of the same sex. Additionaly, such a policy would be difficult to implement as it would require a restructing of schedules in all countries across the nation.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the best solution to the proposed question would be to stick to the status quo. The policy of seperate classes feeds into false stereotypes and does not improve education. Not only is this policy costly and difficult to implement, but it would also create unequal opportunities between males and females, less mixing of ideas, and unfair use of taxpayer money.</p>
