[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do parents of NCS worry about the less interaction of their girls with boys in lower school?  i might sound strange, but I really would like my dd to have a lot of interactions with boys and maybe developed some romantic relationship. I think that is part of their growing experience. but on the other hand I also heard that having bf will affect their academic performance.  Please don't be sochastic about my point and I really appreciate your insights.

Lower school is grades 4-6, approximately age 9 - 11 or age 10 -12. In my opinion that is far too young for kids to be worrying about interacting with boys to develop romantic relationships, and it is certainly too young for them to be having boyfriends.

I think most kids at single-gender schools get enough interaction with the other gender through activities outside of school, so I don't think single gender education impedes forming romantic relationships when the kids are older. I don't think there is anything wrong or bad about either single-gender or co-ed schools; I would seriously discount the importance of this factor and instead choose the school with the kind of academics and community atmosphere you are looking for regardless of whether it is all girls or coed.

That's just my opinion though, and each family has to decide for themselves what is right for their specific kids. [/quote]
