Comrade182 Moderator ![]() Age: 38 Gender: Male Posts: 10235 | Well hopefully I'm understanding this right with co-ed being mixed sex schools (if not slap me, if so pretend I didn't say anything! I went to a single sex school and a coed school (since I left the former half way through), and I personally found that the mixed school was much better, it was more relaxed, and the humour waws less sexually orientated. Also it gave you a chance to get to know girls on a friendly level, rather than being 'thrown to the wolves' (no offense intended ladies) after spending half your teenage life surround by the same sex So just to quickly sum up, I much prefer the mixed sex schools. ![]() |

Though I heard somewhere girls are suppose to work better in a single sex envoirment and that boys better in a mixed one. But it probably depends on the person. |

Plus I have a lot of guy friends and i relax more around them than i do girls... going back to the bitchy thing! |

But during my time in the same sex school we had alot of interaction with an all boys school that was down the road. |

My friend, she goes to an all girls school, she catches the train with guys, her school has dances with guys, she does activities on the weekend with guys. She is no more awkward around guys than I am, I go to a mixed school. |

But it might just depend on the people in the class, rather than being a generalisation! |

Comrade182 Moderator ![]() Age: 38 Gender: Male Posts: 10235 | Lucifers Angel: I understand your point, but at schools there is always going to be sexually charged up boys and girls. It's part of being a teenager. All the boys who were in my class were constantly talking/joking about sex and girls and so on during classes, and the only interaction they had with girls was during a 15-30 minute coach ride home. So all this joking and talking etc came out during lessons, and distubed the whole class, rather than during breaks or in small bursts during lessons in the mixed school i went to. When I was at the mixed school the boys and the girls still joked, and talked about the same thing, but they could mix and have that 'release' during breaks rather than it building up and then disturbing the classes. My grades improved 100% when I moved from the all boys school to the mixed one. (from getting failures & D's to getting A's, B's and a couple of C's) My personal opinion would be to send your children to mixed sex schools. |
Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | Comrade182: thanks for your opinion, but i am only considering it and other peoples opinions would help me decide aswell. at the moment the schoo they go to is full of kids who are nasty and who quite frankly do not want to do the school work and that the punishment is ......well shall we say njot there, also my daughter doesnt like other girls so i was thinking perhaps it would help her enjoy female company. |
Comrade182 Moderator ![]() Age: 38 Gender: Male Posts: 10235 | Lucifers Angel: Your welcome, I think it is also important that the child goes to a school that they want, at first I was happy to go to an all boys school, but after a couple of years I no longer wished to be there and my parents supported me the whole time! |
Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | Comrade182: why didnt you wnt to be there any longer? and if my kids want to stay where they are then so be it, they can stay, but they will be having extra lessons after schools (but NOT on the weekends) |
