In many schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts subjects (eg. languages) and boys choose science subjects (eg. Physics). What do you think are the reasons? Do you think that this tendency should be changed?

JOE

REASONS

SHOULD IT BE CHANGED

gender-specific personalities and competence

female students are usually attracted to subjects that require tremendous self-discipline and patience

male students share a common interest in several fields that need considerable analytical abilities to excel at

each of the two sexes shows distinct competence and excellence at their favored types of subjects

students certainly choose to participate in classes that they are best at

boys and girls choose different courses to study

unnecessary to make changes to this trend

students choose the environment where they can best cultivate their aptitudes

If they were forced to take part in unwanted classes, it would produce undesirable outcomes

resentment or negative attitudes toward study at school

students, regardless of gender, should have their freedom of choice

they should be at liberty to decide what courses they can attend so that they would feel that they are respected and listened to
