/^t/There are advantages and disadvantages of going to single-sex schools. Some people consider them to be very good because they can provide students with better education. They require hard work from their pupils so that they have more chances to pass their future university exams. People approve of such schools because there is no rivarly between pupils of one sex as between students of coeducational schools. Single-sex schools focus students' attention mainly on studying and there is little space for entertainment there. In this way pupils are forced to spend much time on learning, they are being continually controlled and supervised. Many parents would send their children to such a school because it would give them chances for future career. Moreover another advantage of single-sex school is that it is a boarding school. That means students live in hostels far from their homes. Thanks to this, they become more responsible, they experience freedom of living far from their parents but they must also face many problems and difficulties and try to cope with them which prepares them for future life.
