[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worth it. Will get worse in middle school. Read Carol Gilligan In a Different Voice. Girls start silencing themselves around boys. Best to move before middle school. [/quote] When I was going through this decision-making process, I read a ton of academic research in an attempt to take the emotion and reactive response out of it. There are a few studies, including a big one from the UK (where there are more single-sex schools across all regions and socioeconomic groups) that have shown co-ed is best for boys and worst for girls. And single-sex is best for girls. Single-sex is worst for boys. After I read that, it validated my sense that in my DD's private co-ed k-8, boys' emotional development and education came at the expense of that of girls, regardless of the structure or priorities of the school.
