ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book seeks to integrate the findings of both Mixed or Single-sex School. It analyses and appraises the experience of teachers, ex-pupils and pupils of co-educational and single-sex schools mainly through their own reports. The book outlines the case-studies of those girls who had described themselves as 'unhappy' or 'rather unhappy' at school yielded some interesting results. It demonstrates that the unhappy girls in the co-educational schools were of lower average intelligence than their opposite numbers in the single-sex schools and that their difficulty in coping with their studies was a powerful factor in this unhappiness. The evidence that has been gathered together about pupil-teacher relationships, about the happiness and unhappiness of pupils, the good and the bad influence of teachers and the anxiety of pupils, bears directly on other central issues of education.
