In my opinion a better solution is to have mixed schools. In future life people are forced to work together and will have constant contact with other gender.We will have to cooperate and that's why we shouldn't be isolated. Moreover, boys are better when it comes to PE lessons.Usually girls don't do much during physical education so they can play with boys when they want to.Spending time together we get to know each other, the psychology of the opposite gender and their way of thinking which can be very useful and significant in future life and looking for the candidate for a husband/wife.We can complement one another.Furthermore, lessons in a single- sex schools may be sometimes boring because it is boys who mainly make the class laugh with their funny comments.I also think that a single-sex school may be a challenge for teachers.My brother attends such a class because he it's a soccer class and often the fights break out.The group, which consists only of boys may be unbearable. Of course mixed schools have a lot of disadvantages.First of all, pupils may show off instead of focusing on learning.The second drawback is that boys and girl have different needs regarding the ways of learning.
The second question is about the teachers.Should they be easy-going or unapproachable? I'm convinced that it's much more beneficial for students when the teachers are easy-going.Then students don't resist to ask when they don't understand something or have some difficulties.They are not afraid of the teachers and aren't stressed.School shouldn't be perceived as a nightmare but it's much better when we like our classes or at least don't hate them.
Discipline should be relaxed but it depends in which schools.In primary schools and gymnasiums the discipline should be more rigid because younger children usually don't understand the importance of education.Somebody (parents,school) has to force them to learn.However when it comes to high school and older students I prefer the idea of a relaxed discipline.When somebody doesn't want to learn it's his decision.The discipline should be quite rigid during lessons because the other way round some pupils may disturb the others.But as far as we talk about attending classes or coming late I don't think we need a rigid discipline.
I don't agree with the opinion that the punishments in schools are to light.I'm not keen on the idea of corporal or very severe  punishments.The punishment is not a solution.A child can have family problems or bad examples and it may be a reason for his misbehavior.Teachers and school should rather explain certain things to such a person than punish her.The punishment of expelling is very severe and restrains from doing things, which are not allowed.I also think that in most cases a call to parents is enough.Teenagers usually care about their good relations with parents and also they don't want to be punished at home.They are afraid of being grounded or that parents will ban some things,e.g a computer or tv.If both a child and a parent don't care the severe punishments won't help,too.It's rather a very difficult situation then.Severe punishments make the school more unwelcoming and pupils may try to avoid it.
Teaching methods should be progressive.The world changes, so should the teaching methods.We need different skills as the world go forward.We should be able to use computers after finishing schools and have the abilities needed later.That's why I don't perceive a 45 minute lecture the most effective way of teaching.Students should have the possibility to develop themselves and to learn how to cooperate.Moreover, they should do things that will help them to become more and more creative (e.g. the debates and discussions,projects,presentations).Generally everything, not only learning by heart and listening to the teachers.Important is that students can ask the questions and make sure that they understand everything.All the new things that people do in school develop them and learn them something different.It also makes learning less boring and monotonous.

An incident from my childhood in which one of the children threw the household into confusion

The incident that I'm going to describe happened when I was about six years old.At that time I often used to stay with my grandparents and they would take care of me.Although, I was only 6 years old I remember this incident rather well.As usually I was in the kindergarten. Meanwhile my both parents were working.I was always different from other children.When I was young I didn't like to play with my peers very much.I was a very calm and mature child.This was one of the reasons why I hated the kindergarten.It was a nightmare for me.I had there only one friend - Basia and we would always spent time together.
We had been planning this for a long time before.Everything had to be professional and perfectly organized.The plan was ready and all we had to do was to wait for the appropriate moment.One day we decided that it finally came.That was a perfect day to escape from the kindergarten.Firstly, Basia asked the kindergarten teacher to go to the washroom.After about five minutes (we were allowed to go to washroom singly) I asked to go,too. It was the most difficult part of our escape plan because the teacher could have told me to wait until Basia comes back.Fortunately she let me go.We met together in the cloak-room.Then we silently sidled out of the building.Now we were free! We decided to go to Basia's house because there was a pouring rain outside.We were sauntering around in a downpour when suddenly we heard our teacher's nervous voice behind our backs.We were totally unaware of the fact that everybody was looking for us, including our parents who had to break out from work and the kindergarten staff.When we returned to the building everybody was furious and relieved at the same time.My parents were extremely angry but also happy that we didn't get any harm.There were also my worried grandparents waiting anxiously for us.Everybody dropped everything because of our idea to take a day off from kindergarten.It caused a lot of chaos in my family.
