ゝ me No1 where a sex-segregated education expands
2012-01-24
 Speaking of a consistency school, it is a star of our dawn in Fukuyama-shi for six years of the only girl. It has been said, it "will be great to gather only girls" in the meeting with other presidents once. I seemed to collect the considerable number of people as a coschool when I heard only in the recruitment of other schools situation.
 However, I choose the school as "the good school" and "a merit" when I think carefully because there is a thing to feel to be. Though one of the first choices must actually have "a sex-segregated education" or "coeducation" or a choice, the standard of the choice feels like always beginning from "coeducation" in the generation of the thinking parent by being hardly a person from coeducation.
In "the elementary school, as for the coeducation, the secondary education, a sex-segregated education" seemed to be standard until World War II after the Meiji era when I looked back on the history. The boy learned in an old-system junior high school, a high school under the old system of education when she left the coeducational elementary school, and the girl learned in a high elementary school and girls' high school, a higher normal school for women.
After the defeat, becoming it was ordered coeducation from GHQ, and many old-system junior high schools and high schools under the old system of education made it the coeducation in a form such as being merged with the girls' school of the neighborhood, but some schools did not follow it. I hear that most were private.
   When it is the 21st century, a wave of the declining birthrate flocks for junior high school examination. If students do not gather, the private school cannot continue. If a boys' school and a girls' school become the coeducation, collecting students is enabled targeting at the number of people of the double simply. Furthermore, a boys' school and the girls' schools where the surge of the social consciousness to a gender equality was combined, and coeducation decided becoming it in the private institution increased. The word "coeducational boom" is born now in the junior high school examination industry, too. (note 1)
   However, it does not seem to be so whether it is "nature" only for the continuation now to disturb a certain form. I think that there might be the role as mind and the girls' school of the-based study that I cultivated so far. I think whether it is not an important opportunity to think about "a sex-segregated education" once again in this sense. So I divide it into three times with the blog and want to think about "a sex-segregated education".
   There is one book here. It is a book "why does the man and woman sex-segregated education lengthen a child?". An author is the teacher whom he/she taught in the elementary school of the sex-segregated education called "Toshimi Nakai". There were shocking words to the obi of the book. "A grade rises surprisingly if I tell you according to man and woman! 90% of the Univ. of Tokyo pass top school is the word girls' school / boys' school.
   Of course I think that it does not become straight "do to be so like that?". This is because at first the strong will from students is necessary with an effort of teachers to teach. In other words, this is because it is demanded from both teacher and students that I make an effort. But it knows the characteristic of a boy and the girl, and this is because it thinks that it may keep a difference alive for education when it sees brain science-like analysis attracting attention in particular recently.
   ☆I insist that a man and woman makes a great difference in the brain science. (note 2)
   A way of thinking that society created a manner, the preference of the man and woman, the difference in action was mainstream, but it was in the 21st century, and brain science developed, and it was revealed that the difference of the man and woman necessarily depended on work and the hormone of the nerve course of not only it but also the brain once. It is an agreed opinion of the scholar of world brain science now to be different from the brain of the man and woman in the work. (note 3)
   In other words, the brains of the man and woman are different, and the work of the brain after I am born accordingly is seen, and, since the growth of the fetus, a difference appears in, how is heard, how to get communication, interest interest, the expertise. Even so, it is not that it is said that I am not equal or am not the same right because there are the sex differences of the brain. It is only to be different in the brain of the man and woman practically to be different in an individual.
   If I accept the difference of the man and woman to be able to stretch out the good point of the child still more if we receive the difference of individual children and bring you up depending on the individuality of the child and educate you depending on the characteristic of the child, I can stretch out the good point of both sexes still more. By (note 4), will there be what kind of difference?
   ① A girl has high verbal ability and is superior at a memory, facility, a point such as the speed of the pronunciation.
   ② A girl is superior in hearing. (a big difference is seen in infant growth)
   ③ As for the retina of the girl, it is proved that a lot of small cell sensing a color and feel of a material exists biologically mainly. By the way, large cells sensing movement are distributed over the boy mainly.
   ④ The characteristic of the memory of the girl is phoneme memory, and the boy is visual space memory. It remains in the memory how there is this in a difference at the time of class when I express it to a boy at the time of blackboard demonstration as much as possible in the figure. That after having written on a blackboard to a girl, should explain in spoken language, and remember it; is different.
   ⑤ In addition, there is gender gap in the way of feelings processing. The girl is easy to express own feelings by words, and it is hard for the boy to express own feelings by words. (note 5)
 
   A study of "the brain science" is gradually revealing the difference of the man and woman as above. As well as the category called the same human being, I notice that what's called sex differences brought a big difference when I think like that.
