Single sex vs. Co-ed public elementary and secondary schools

[Mo-Nercy]

I go to an all boys school. And I've never had a second thought about it. Most people who do go to a single sex school wouldn't really care about their surroundings. As Neel said before, there are arguments in favour of both co-ed and single sex. I don't know any people that go to a single sex and would rather go to a co-ed or vice versa. In my experience, people are happy where they are.

Also, it's easier for someone to learn when surrounded with people you have no chance of being sexually attracted to (assuming this hypothetical student is heterosexual.) And that's why the top academic schools (in Australia at least) tend to be single sex and not co-ed, be they private, public or selective.

"By the way, what the hell's a girl?"

I've read a few other posts saying that single sex school students will end up not knowing how to communicate or act in front of the opposite sex. Gee...that's a bit off. There's hardly any disadvantage. Most of these students (myself included) have a life outside of school where they interact with the opposite sex, or if not, at least a family member of the opposite sex.
