With the ongoing issue of women's rights, it is important to teach younger generations to accept gender differences and treat everyone as equal. Although people gravitate toward single-sex schools because they allow students to connect more easily as a family, gender segregation can cause a rift in gender equality. A study conducted by Liben, a university psychologist, and her graduate student Lacey Hilliard, found that highlighting gender promotes stereotypical views in 3-year-olds (Novotney). By teaching children to close the gender gap at an early age, gender inequality can be reduced. Additionally, reports state that female students in single-gender schools are less likely to consider science or computer science classes, also known as “boys classes” (Yates). Coeducational schools, on the other hand, allow boys and girls to interact together in meaningful ways and learn to move away from common images of gender roles. A 1998 study shows that “[g]irls in coeducational schools tended to take more science courses and perform better in the college admissions process. Statistical analysis of his study shows that graduates of coeducational schools were more likely than graduates of all-girls schools to have careers in law, computers, scientific research, and psychology” (“Coeducation at WT”). Coeducational schools not only teach gender equality, but also allow women to do so
