[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single sex education has been better than we ever expected. Zero “dating” distractions. Zero preening and competition regarding the same. More opportunity and better environment to form strong personal relationships within the group. A program aimed at the gender in question, it’s strength and it’s weaknesses, which makes the environment more cooperative and fulfilling. The idea that boys and girls have to stew together in the same pot when their hormones are raging and their learning differences most apparent, just to be able to function in a coed workforce, is ridiculous. [/quote] This post screams heteronormativity. Not all people are attracted to the opposite sex (or solely to the opposite sex).[/quote] Thats’s right, ignore everything else in the post about why kids can do better in same sex schools and jump right into outrages, labelling and virtue signaling. The quickest estimate I found was that about 4.5% of the US population identifies as non-heterosexual. Meaning 95.5% of students would be less likely to be romantically distracted in a single sex school, not to mention all the other reasons a parent might choose such an environment. [/quote] This post said nothing about the other reasons parents choose same sex education. But, if the reasoning here is to prevent “distraction” because they don’t need to worry about “hormones” or being attracted to classmates or whatever that says much more about the parents than the value of same sex education and the type of environment kids are growing up in. Btw, percentage of 13-17 year olds who identify as LGBTQ+ is about 10%: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/LGBT-Youth-US-Pop-Sep-2020.pdf [/quote]
