In Philadelphia there are some major changes being made in their schools. They have decided to place all males in this one particular junior high school. Moretheless is has the sense of a private school but made public. They will be in uniform and will also stay later than any other public school in the United States. The tax payers in the district are upset because they develop this program for only boys. In this poverty stricken neighborhood they felt the need to focus on boy due the high drop out rate of males. They consider the program to be helpful and needed in there Latin community.

This is a very good idea. I think that this being a only boy school will help the students who can’t afford the private schools to receive a better education. What would make this environment better? At this point in a young mans life they become more attracted to the opposite sex. Being separated from them while in a place where higher learning is supposed to be enforced. Getting dates and making out in the hallways can’t go on in the school. Unless there are students who attend the school are homosexual. Which brings me to my next point. That may be a concern for some of the students as well as the parents. What if homosexual is throughout the school and kids who are not involved in those activities are exposed on more of a personal level, or come in contact with guys of that preference, how are they to react. I agree that this program is a good idea. However you must be willing to take the good with the bad.
