Question My name is Aziz. I am a student in foundation study at university of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand. I am doing a research in ICT (Information and Communication Technology). The subject of my research is talking about education in schools around the world. The question of my research is "Between the age of 10 – 15, who do you think perform better in school, boys or girls?
Do thy perform better in single sex class or cered classes?"
To pass my course I must find an answer to this question by communicating with expert people by email and receive more than twenty answers.
Please I need a direct answer from you.
Thank you so much
Could you send me the answer on my email please

Answer Aziz,
Thank you for the question.
This situation has been studied for years, and I think that you could find much research either way.
Nonetheless, in my experience, females between 10-15 tears of age tend to do better academically than males. Also, I think same-sex classes are more beneficial, especially with teens.
As hormones rage, teens tend to behave differently around the opposite sex, and often in a negative way.
For example, a male student with females in the clas might act tough, yet with just boys, he is more compliant.
I hope that this helps.
Greg
