[quote=Anonymous]I went to a coed school until 8th grade, then an all-girls school for high school, and then back to coed for college. Even by 8th grade there was starting to be a dynamic of boys dominating the classroom discussions, and girls just kind of sitting there not raising their hands. In high school, the girls at my school seemed to flourish in the classroom (many of them I had known from my previous school) and I believe it was because of the same-sex thing. They weren't afraid to get an answer wrong in front of a classroom of only girls, for example. When I went to college, I noticed most of my classes had that same dynamic of boys taking the lead, and girls not participating as much. I think because of my same-sex education in high school, I felt very comfortable speaking/answering/debating things in class. I feel it's served me well professionally, too.[/quote]
