[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found that the boys only get worse with age due to a massive maturity gap. It's especially bad in grade 4. We're moving to an all girls school next year and DD can't wait. We also think she will thrive.[/quote] Yeah, I agree. In open-admission public schools, the maturity gap with boys really shows by 3rd–5th grade and can drag the whole environment down. I may be odd, but I think something similar applies to girls too—they do better in a setting tailored to them. And of course, less mature boys in the mix make it even harder for girls to thrive. That’s why we chose an all-boys school for middle/high school. You just can’t do real boy formation work—or the same for girls—at full strength in a co-ed environment.[/quote]
