I think Gordon Tech made a good decision by becoming a co-ed high school. This change was mostly positive, but also had some negatives to it. Even though now we also have girls' sports, we are not as competitive in all the sports as we used to be. If you look at all our plaques and trophies, they were mostly from the times that we were an all-boys school. Another negative is a loss in students. It might have just been a coincidence, but we have lost a huge amount of people since Gordon was an all-boys school.
Even though there are those negatives, I still believe it was a good change. Before, the students were used to talking with guys every day and with girls only after school or on weekends. Now, we get to talk with girls and have classes with them everyday, so we get used to seeing girls more often in our lives. That means we are better off socially as a co-ed school. My overall view is that we should stay co-ed.
