why do people hate private schools?

Single gender schools seem to perform a lot better than mixed, this is a clear fact. Separation by race is purely racist and very backwards.

Erm, do you object to my wording?

I'll rephrase. Can you elaborate on why the idea of a white and black only school is ridiculous, yet think single sex schools should be allowed.

Said here:

Like I said, single sex schools perform far more better than mixed.

No, if everyone should live an equal life, that means you should have an equal amount of money. The same way some parents want to pay for their children's education.

Statistics for this?

For all you know, it could turn out that in schools separated by race, people also do better. That still doesn't make it OK. Segregation is segregation, no matter what basis you choose for it.

All white schools might perform better than all-black schools. I'm pretty sure, historically, they would have...

If you take a look at the league table, it is evident that single sex schools achieve higher. Racial separation is purely segregation, splitting due to gender is entirely separation

That is extremely racist.

Why is it evident? There could be other factors at play, such as the teachers at the school or how much money they have. Until I see a study that provides concrete evidence for this, I can't believe it.

What do you think the difference between the two is?

No, it's not. Socio-economic factors.

I didn't randomly make it up, I suggest you take a look at the league table. Most of the top schools are single sex grammar schools. Also, some may hate the idea of separation due to gender and I completely understand that.

League tables don't provide straight evidence for/against gender separation simply because there's other factors involved. The only way to truly check it is to have some trial schools with the same conditions, just with one being boys only, one being girls only and the other being mixed.

But what's the difference between segregation and separation then?

It is racist and I don't even need to explain why.

Personally, I think that the way schools are functioning are fine, however the only issue is that some schools need to improve the facilities they provide and the teaching quality. If there was only one kind of school, that would only result in chaos and disagreements.

Segregation is the isolation of groups e.g. race by the means of a policy and separation is parting individuals

Correlation =/ causation



Black families tend to earn lower in average which is a factor.
http://www.poverty.org.uk/06/index.shtml?
50% of Black Africans live in low income households - children growing up in low-income households tend to have lower attainment.

In both situations, you are parting groups of people.

There's no social isolation involved at all, people are free to talk to others and make friends if they want to.

So you think that all white schools achieve better than black schools? How can you make such judgement when it does not exist? Having a low income doesn't determine how well you would do in school. I think it's vague and racist.
