[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never send my children (either girl or boy) to a single-sex learning environment. The pros of learning how to properly and respectfully interact with members of the opposite sex far outweigh the cons IMO.  I have friends with kids at single sex schools and I have heard of too many stories of disrespectful behavior that boys have toward girls and, sadly, the low self esteem that girls have and lead them to make some really bad choices.

Of course, bad choices are made by all teenagers, but there is something much more disrespectful with kids from same sex schools. They simply don't know how to be friends with the opposite sex and that is so sad to me...[/quote]

I find the opposite. We have had boys in both environments. At the coed school everybody is talking about "dating" and " going together"... Boys and girls are not friends and are just another conquest.

My boys have friends from the neighborhood for years so they are friends and they don't talk about "going together, etc".
