Talking about the first topic, I really don't agree that single-sex schools are better places to people to learn. It depends on the disclipine imposed by the teachers and what they do to envolve their pupils in order to help them achieving knowledge.

Thew topic I chosed is the eighth, which says that the private schools are better than state schools. Unfortunately, I agree with this. Actualy, private schools have more money to invest and improve themselves; this way, those schools are better and more onganized, and the teachers are paid better too (what can estimulate them to work satisfactory).

The topic I've chosen is the fourth. I partly agree because some things you can learn only along the time, but respect other people, for example; you can learn in subjects like philosophy and sociology. Schools are important but its don´t have all answers for life.

The topic I've chosen is the second. I partly agree because children can wear both: uniform and normal clothers and not be punished for it.
