rollerpig GSBitch Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 62283 | Well, I only went to a coed school, so I don't know how it is. But I think I definately prefer it the single sex school. I think it's healthy you talk to like all kind of persons. I also think that is kinda true. Pastor of Muppets: |

Miss Katy Jackass Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 1041 | My school was an all girls school apart from the sixth form which was mixed. Whilst it was probably okay from a working point of view, ie we didn't get distracted by the whole 'Who's the cutest guy?' discussions until we were 16. I don't think it is good at preparing you for the world of work. I mean, not many of the girls in my school would have been working in offices filled with other girls. My friend transferred from a mixed sex school to our school at the beginning of sixth form. She said it was better to have gone to a mixed school because then you get the interaction with guys, and are therefore more likely to make friends with people of both sexes. Consequently she got along a lot better with everyone in our year group. |

robotchicken. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 8423 | Well in the real world you have to work with men AND women so maybe getting prepared with a school that has only one sex isnt the best but it might be I DONT know Ive never been. The people that go say its good and stuff but I like co-ed better :/ It seems like I would miss my guy friends ._. |

Matt Smith Admin Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 | Robot: I love the way you exlained all that with such clarity and open mindedness Criminals are segregated from mainstream society, i'd say thats a pretty good exuse for segregation. And what about voluntary segregation?. Sure, some kids want to go to single sex schools. You plan on arguing with that?. Because you seem rpetty headstrong with your beliefs, so they should be allowed theirs. |
Plug In Baby. Addict Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 11334 | Bloodraine: Yeah, my friend wanted to go to an all girls school. Its turned out fantastic for her. Plus, I mean, these kids get interactions with other genders outside of school! She has had boyfriends, she talks to guys all the time! Most people do have friends outside of the school that they go too.. so really, I don't think it affects them all that much. |
FUCK GSB Banned Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1973 | Bloodraine: You got me there on teh criminals. People need to be around people of both sexes for a few reasons, a single sex school would be more likely to teach you that one sex is better than the next. The simple fact that you need to socialize with people that you'll be dealing with the rest of your life is a good reason to NOT segregate them. |
Blank_blank Geek Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 364 | I think that whether or not a mixed sex school will be beneficial for someone is dependant on them as a person. I went to a co-ed school, but halfway through they started 'trialing' single sex classes (maths, science, phys ed). Some people really liked them, but i personally hated it. Maths and science were ok, but there was definantly a different atmosphere without boys in the class, not that it made the classes easier or more interesting. I hated phys ed though, i cant stand netball and i cant stand girls who scream everytime a ball comes near them. With co-ed classes the type of sport is mixed up more between the quiet ones and the rough ones. |
Blank_blank Geek Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 364 | Lucifers Angel: I think that the quality of education you get is dependant on the school's own disapline system, and the general student body. That's to say that there are single sex schools that have just as much trouble as co-ed ones with discipline and distruptive students. All girl schools can be just as bad as co-ed when it comes to making friends, especially when you move half way through school, you just have to find the right one. Prehaps just a change to another school, not necessarily a single sex one would help. |
ColleenStarship Addict Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 11991 | Robot: i don not agree with that at all. you go to school to learn what is required and i don't think being separted from guys or girls is such a terrible thing i think it would make it easier without the guys i would think girls would be even more open to solcializing with them when the oppurtunity is there. |
FUCK GSB Banned Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1973 | Viva La Stupid: I see girls and guys socializing all the time.... I don't see how it would work, I think it would make people not understand each other as much. There are a lot of guys who would never talk to girls if they weren't forced to in class. Not because they don't want to, but because they're afraid to. |
