[edit] links

In the interest of impartiality, at least one site defending coeducation should be added to the links section. 63.152.13.57 07:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

This article does not give due coverage to supporters of coeducational facilities, so I've added the NPOV tag. -- Beland 22:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

If you've got ideas for fixing the POV problem, please feel free to edit the article appropriately. Even if you've just got a start or outline of what needs to be added, that will help other editors flesh it out. CSWarren 18:12, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
This is no more POV than the coeducation article.70.150.94.194 22:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
This article reads like it was written by an advocate for single-sex education. IMO, Beland is correct (any studies supporting the coeducational viewpoint? can we get references to them in here?) and also, the tone of the case for coeducation sounds dismissive, and why all this harping on the differences between the genders?

[edit] Merger

I suggest these three articles (Single-sex education Single-sex school and Coeducation) are merged into one, providing (properly supported) arguments for both sides. Now, there are two articles with a very similar topic, and each article has neutrality and/or citation issues.

I am currently creating a presentation on this topic, and I might be able to write this new page, or help contributing to a group effort with somebody with more background on this topic in the lead.

Agree These topics go together, but I am at a loss for what the name of the merged article would be named. None of the existing article titles are objective or comprehensive enough to respect the other side of the issue. --MUW Fan (talk) 20:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Agree & Disagree: Single-sex education and Single-sex school should be merged, since they both convey the same meaning. However, suggesting that Coeducation should be merged with the other two is not a good idea, since it conveys the opposite meaning to the other two terms. Hamletpride (talk) 17:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Conclusion: I merged the entire contents of Single-sex school into this article. However, Coeducation has been left, due to the differences in meaning, with one being the entire opposite of the other. One should note that there is in fact a thread over there on the discussion page at the moment to rename the article to "Mixed-sex education", for reasons explained there.
