[quote=Anonymous]We did single sex (for DDs and DSs) in high school and I'm happy with that. As much as I love the benefits of single sex education, I think too many years of it has some downsides in terms of dealing with the realities of life and building some normal coping/resilience skills. I don't think middle school should be miserable just for the sake of being miserable or as some sort of endurance test. But taking every obstacle out of the path of our children doesn't serve them either. It's a tough balance and you have to trust your gut on YOUR situation and YOUR kid. But for me, a few years in key grades was perfect. Also, FWIW, my friends who I consider the best moms and have boys in grades 3-12 all-boys schools make a real effort to have their boys involved in a co-ed extracurricular that takes some significant time.
