[quote=Anonymous]DD attends an all girls school.  And we treat coed opportunities the same way we treat other experiences that aren't readily available in either her neighborhood or school.

at her school a few activities are coed in MS and HS, including a few classes.
She still prefers single sex activities, and is actively growing friendships with boys.
she doesn't demonstrate romantic interest of any kind.

She also is not the student rolling up her skirt.  In fact, in shopping for dresses for special occasions, she is demanding no cleavage, longer hem lines, not too tight.  She is in HS.
THere are certainly girls I see on campus that are doing those things, but my duaghter's experience is for most of her friend circles.  I think you will find some of each of these behaviors in public schools, co ed schools, single sex schools, boarding schools, etc.

a close family member graduated from a coed school went to a coed college and is now well into her 20s.  she also demonstrates no active romantic interests.  she verbalizes that relationships do not fit with the goals she has right now and often makes comments about an oppressive patriarchy.  This comes from the student who attended nothing but coed schools.
