[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have sent my kids to single sex and co-ed high schools. The single sex boys school was by far the best experience of all. The all girls school was very competitive, but the boys school did not have the same feel. My son was treated so differently in his co-ed middle school vs.his all boys school. He was always in trouble in 7th and 8th grade for not sitting still, talking out of turn, fidgeting, not turning in homework, etc. At his boys school he is excelling. All advanced classes, views himself as one of the smart boys and getting great grades. The teachers don’t put up with distractions in class, but the same behaviors from before seemed to be viewed as more “normal.” I don’t know if I am describing this adequately, but I think the teachers are more accepting of typical boy behavior rather than expecting boys to behave like girls do. This has been transformative for him. As an aside, he is a senior now and all of these behaviors are basically gone. I honestly think it is just that some boys mature later than girls and take a while to catch up. He is on the younger side of the class. YMMV[/quote]

- above is refreshing to read; thanks[/quote]
