[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I NEVER thought I would choose a single sex school but I did choose it for 5th grade. And I did because girls and boys learn very differently and have different needs. A girl can sit and read a book for 2 hours easy. No way a boy could do that. My choice for single sex didn't have much to do with the whole "flirting, liking boys/girls, or sexuality" thing. I just saw how different they are and wanted the most focused learning environment I could find.[/quote] Is there anything other than anecdotal evidence to support that boys learn differently than girls, any more than some children learn differently than other children? We selected an all boys school for kindergarten next year because we loved the school, but the gender essentialism bugs me. [/quote]
