I taught in a school that separated the boys and girls. The girls did great, they learn quicker, they are less fights. The boys on the other hand.... it's was bad.
I heard from other teachers that had more experience with single sex classes, that it's great for girls, but not for boys.
Yes, this is what I have been told again and again.....the girls do best in an all girl school, but the boys do best in co-ed......so where do the boys go then?
We were driving past the all girls high school yesterday (myself and DD7), after just driving past the co-ed nearby, which I had pointed out to my daughter as being "great". As we drove past the girl school though, she said "Mum, what about that school there? Isn't it all girls?". I replied that yes, it was "Well, I want to go there then please, 'cos I am sick of the boys at school"
