To parents who sent their sons to all-male schools

[Anonymous]

Hi. I have a 3 year old little boy and I have started thinking about options for kindergarten (I no longer live in the DC area but in Baltimore). There are some great all-boy schools in Baltimore that I would like to consider. To parents who sent their sons to an all-boy school, what made you choose it over a coed school? It doesn't seem that these all make schools have lots of male teachers like I thought they would. Do the teachers seem better able to teach boys? Do they have more time for outdoor play/sports? I know my son is all boy and might have problems in the current public school setting (lots of sitting still for long periods of time doing seat work, not much recess if at all, etc). Any recs for all male schools in Baltimore?

I send my sons to an all-boys school because I believe that is the right place for them. It isn't necessarily for everyone, but my guys are real boys' boys, who need lots of structure, love sports, and really enjoy the whole enviroment. They are very happy. Plus, most of their teachers are male, and the school really caters to the way most boys learn. I went to an all-girls' school, so I'm on board with the whole single-sex education thing (although NOT for college).
