Abstract
This research proposal addresses the impact that single-sex high schools have on those who attend them. It looks at previously published literature about single-sex high schools and offers a proposed method of study. The proposal includes a discussion about the problem as well as an examination of same-sex schools and coed schools. Moving from a single-sex high school to a coed college is examined in terms of academic, relationship, and human nature issues. It also provides a discussion about any pitfalls that are expected in attending same-sex schools.
From the Paper
"One study looked at the differences in same sex soccer teams and coed soccer teams. ?The purpose of the present study was to replicate and extend Stephens and Bredemeier (1996) in two ways. First, in addition to participants in an all-girls soccer league, a sample of male and female soccer players in a coeducational league was utilized. Second, based on research linking experience in higher contact sports with lower levels of moral reasoning in sport (Bredemeier et al., 1987), age and level of contact/collision sport experience were added as a potential predictors of likelihood to aggress."

Abstract
This research proposal addresses the impact that single-sex high schools have on those who attend them. The proposal includes a discussion about the problems associated with single-sex schools, as well as an examination of single-sex schools and co-ed schools. The paper examines the consequences of attending a single-sex high school and then moves on to a co-ed college in terms of academic, relationship, and human nature issues. The paper also discusses some of the drawbacks expected from attending a single-sex school and asks what the outcomes of those assumptions are. Relevant literature is reviewed and a method of study is proposed.
From the Paper
"When students enter college they are expected to have both the experience and maturity to handle the venture. Students are expected to be able to interact with many different types of people from both genders. They are expected to understand how to have a platonic relationship with the opposite sex so that teams, projects and other things can be fully experienced by all of the students. It is presumed that attending coed schools leading up to the college years will prepare the students for the college experience. During high school students get crushes, learn to study with and participate in class activities with the opposite sex and generally by the time they attend college they have moved past the giggly girls of middle school or the boys who become tongue tied when faced with female companionship."

Abstract
This paper explains that sex education in the schools has been an area of intense debate, from classrooms to the Supreme Court, in American education for many years. The major area of conflict generally is focused on the abstinence-only education approach, which is heavily supported by federal government funds. The author believes that education on abstinence is the moral solution. Teenagers will make responsible decisions only when they are educated on moral choices and not on the way they choose to prevent pregnancy; there is no safe sex. The paper concludes that, looking at the various statistics on unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among teenagers, it is clear that the requirement for a comprehensive sex education program is to teach postponement of sexual involvement and the way to protect themselves, if they choose to indulge in sex, to give maximum protection from the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
From the Paper
"Teenagers require the right information to aid in protecting themselves as these statistics given below show. The teenage pregnancy rate in the US is more than double that of any western industrialized country. The number of teenagers becoming pregnant each year is greater than a million. The rate of sexually transmitted diseases is the highest when compared to any age group. One out of every four youngsters contract some form of sexually transmitted diseases before the age of twenty-one. Sexually transmitted diseases have the potential to damage a teenager?s health and the ability to reproduce. AIDS has still no cure."

Abstract
This paper explains that literature is not replete with studies on male and female single gender education as being a better road to college success than coeducational venues; however, available literature is contradictory. The author states that the data will be both historical and numerical, using a testable hypothesis, questionnaire, and statistical data analysis; college success will be defined by freshman year college grade points over four quarters of study wherein at least 12 credit hours were attempted. The paper states that the research variables under consideration will include acquired academic strengths, emotional growth, participatory leadership development, and social connectionism as preparatory measures for success in college or university.

From the Paper
"Education, albeit public school, private school, or charter school affiliated, is a process whereby the youth of America are provided and opportunity to receive an education in an environment conducive to learning which, in turn, provides the necessary skills and competencies necessary to enter college and be successful. The broadly defined mission of any high school is one of creative growth through social, emotional, and physical development. Although this is sometimes a lofty undertaking, it is one, nonetheless, that is necessary if a successful college education is to be attained. In the twenty first century where mega technology abounds high schools are continually being challenged to prepare students to the rigors of a less supervised, more independent, and more rigorous college experience. In order to meet the challenges high schools, regardless of classification, are put upon to provide students with a learning environment that is wide ranging, socially and academically responsible, and self-motivating.Should these characteristics not be built into the school curriculum, a young student entering college is at a disadvantage and the possibility of failure is increased."

Abstract
Teen pregnancy, AIDS, and other realities of engaging in unprotected sex are a fact of modern life in this society. This paper argues that sex education should be part of the school curriculum, and subjects such as condom advocacy and STDs should be covered. The paper looks at the moral and ethical issues surrounding this topic and examines the role of parents in supplementing sex education.
From the Paper
"The third dilemma when it comes to sex education in the classroom revolves around church and state. There are many religious groups and churches that are adamantly opposed to teaching sex education in the classroom. They protest, write letters, encourage parishioners to remove their children from the schools and use media to garner attention to their cause. The church interference believes that abstinence until marriage is the only acceptable lesson to learn about sex and even that has no place in a classroom. They believe it is something the parents are to teach the children. Those who are against this line of thinking point to the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the statement that culture is a catalyst for gender discrimination and that social reproduction also perpetuates gender discrimination, while others argue that culture is not a factor in gender discrimination, but rather it is socioeconomic factors that are the variables contributing to achievement.
From the Paper
"Women throughout history have had "less-than-equal occupational and social status than young men" as they do in classrooms. Consequently, females who tried to benefit from a male dominated society had to "acclimate to that culture if they [were] to profit from it." Discrimination is apparent between schooling and expectations for females. Females acquire less feedback from teachers, and teachers' criteria have lower standards for females to succeed. Streitmatter goes on to prove that females perform at higher levels in same gender classes. They excel more in math, physics and calculus than females in co-ed classes because teachers' expectations are not lowered: students gain the feedback and attention needed, and same sex classes provide a safe environment for females to learn.
Co-educational classes defeat what initially they were meant to rectify; that gender would not limit the access to equal education. Calculus, math, and physics classes have been male dominated."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Bush administrations decision to provide funding to schools for abstinence-only" sex education programs. While there are different opinions, this paper aligns with the view to support an increase in genuine sex education beginning in our public high schools.
From the Paper
"Although public sex education is as controversial now as it was before the so-called sexual revolution of the 1960's, the focus of the debate has shifted significantly. Most conservatives no longer rally for an end to public sex education, and many parents seem to agree. Nowadays, the argument is not about whether sex should be taught in schools; instead, educators, parents and government officials debate about the content of the courses. Recent laws passed by the Bush administration provide increased funding for "abstinence-only" programs. This move has only exacerbated the debate. Many parents and educators continue to support more informative, and realistic, approaches to sex education."

Abstract
This paper looks at the controversy behind high school sex education. It outlines the arguments of both the supporters and the opponents of high school sex education. It looks at the issue of the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, the teaching of abstinence and the question of whether promiscuity or responsibility is encouraged with this education. It deals with the ineffectiveness of present sex education programs and the suggested improvements on the programs. The paper concludes by giving a synopsis on the debate of sex education in high schools.
From the Paper
"The effect of sexual education in high school has been a contentious subject since the widespread inception of sexual education programs. Opponents of sexual education argue that it results in more liberal sexual attitudes, leading to increased promiscuity among teenagers. In contrast, supporters of sexual education note that education promotes sexual responsibility, thus reducing the incidence of both sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancies among teenagers."

Abstract
The paper shows that contemporary society basically revolves around the notion of sexual arousal and the concept of sex has become such a regular part of today's world that teens have become desensitized to the important issues inherent to it. The paper examines the rise in teenage pregnancies and the various problems of sexually transmitted disease in different socio-economic groups. It then examines the need for more detailed and informative sex education in public schools to combat the rising social problems related to early sexual promiscuity.
From the Paper
"Teens want to be left on their own to explore and learn about the mysterious world of sex. Not many teen/adult relationships are that open to allow for the intrusion of such a delicate topic; as well, an integral part of the overall learning process of life is to explore and find out things on one's own, two pertinent reasons why sex education is necessary within the public school system. That many teens are already engaging in sexual activity bodes well for a natural segue between learning about sex on the streets and being taught about it in the classroom."

Abstract
A debate about whether sex education should be provided by schools. The author looks at the advantages of sex education in school. He argues that parents have less time on their hands to educate their children at home, sex education in schools is not only advantageous but necessary.
From the Paper
"Child hood and adolescence are an intricate beginning of a human being?s life. Children begin the learning process at a very early age. Young people are very impressionable in mocking and imitating other?s behavior. In this day and age, most parents do not have the time, patience, or ability to teach children well standards of living. That is why, all types sexual education need be taught in junior high schools, where children can achieve superior knowledge from qualified adults."

From the Paper
"While the barriers to offering sex education in public schools have decreased, many barriers relating to its effectiveness remain or are likely to appear in the near future. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss sex education with the education system, the continuing need for the program, the controversies surrounding it, and the trends of educators for the future.
The United States is undergoing a tragic phenomena: teenage pregnancy. As society became more sexually permissive, teenagers were caught in the middle. Too immature to handle sex yet vulnerable to its natural forces. Teenagers have been forced to deal with unwanted pregnancies in growing numbers. In fact, more than 1,000,000 teenagers become pregnant each year. That is one in four teenage girls ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the issues relating to sex education programs in high school which has been a controversial subject since its inception. It evaluates how the recent increase in sexual activity among teenagers indicates that the subject should be revisited for further inspection and scrutiny. It shows how opponents of sexual education in schools argue that the subject promotes promiscuity and liberal sexual attitudes in teenage students whereas supporters of sexual education programs believe that they often reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases as well as unwanted pregnancies. It also looks at how these courses often usurp the role of parents in the education of their teenage sons and daughters as well as alternative programs such as abstinence programs which typically promote sex after marriage.
From the Paper
"Since the 1960s, it is clearly evident that the United States has accepted and often embraced new attitudes towards sex that have resulted in increased sexual freedom throughout the general public as well as in the media. In today?s society, sexual topics are discussed in regular conversation, and media events that contain sexual material inundate the airwaves and television sets of America. Americans are willing to accept a greater openness towards sexual behaviors in the media, but when it directly affects their own children, their opinions differ dramatically. Many possess conservative attitudes in which such honesty in the classroom is unnecessary and dangerous, and that any discussion of sex should wait until marriage (Irvine)."

Table of Contents:
Solution to the Problem
Justification of the Solution
From the Paper
"The possibility that birth control in schools might lower the rate of teen pregnancy and STDs is reason enough to implement systems in schools. If birth control were available in schools, more teenagers would use protection when exploring their sexuality. Birth control should be available in high schools simply because most teenagers will not talk to their parents about it.
"Many parents do not even realize that their children are interested in sexual activity. These parents may fight birth control in schools, as they may perceive it as encouragement. However, schools should make an effort to help parents recognize the real situation. To reduce STD's and pregnancies, teenagers should be able to obtain birth control from somewhere. Schools provide a safe place to do so."

From the Paper
"Historically, the sex education controversy grew out of an article written by Doctor Gordon Drake entitled: "Is the schoolhouse the place to teach raw sex?". Dr. Drake, obviously, reached the conclusion that school was in fact, the wrong place to instruct students about sexual matters. His main reason for reaching this conclusion was that it was the family's responsibility to inform children about sex. He felt that this could be done in a much more personal manner, with a lot more relevence to the child. He also felt that the parent could be more candid with each individual child because he had a more personal relationship than the teacher did.
Another argument that was well exploited by the anti-sex education group was that a child's interest in sex was dormant from the ages six through twelve."
