[quote=Anonymous]If you are discussing single sex education (not just girls), I never thought it would be right for my DS, mainly because he is not a "boys will be boys" kind of kid. But it turns out that moving him to single sex was the best decision on a number of levels. The biggest advantage (he is in high school), is that you don't have the girl factor in the whole experience. The boys are focused on their learning and there is none of the showing off to girls. They can just be themselves in the learning environment, and hence be more focused. We also find that there is less bully factor because we find any bullying that does occur is usually a mechanism to get girls' attention. And there are plenty of opportunities to socialize with girls...but it is separate from the educational environment, where it belongs.[/quote]
