[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I switched my daughter from a co-ed to an all-girl school in 6th grade and it was the best decision.  The empowering and teaching focusing on girls and that they can be whatever they want just works so well at this difficult age.  Hard core athletics, art, STEM, debate, clubs, etc...  It is not girly at all. My daughter was doing robotics.  A class NO girls would sign up for because in a co-ed school it would be 90% boys. It gives girls a chance to try anything and everything without worry.  They build confident women.  There are girls that don't have to have single sex. [b] That will raise their hand over a boy or not care about boy/girl dynamics but ages 7-10th grade have a really hard time with that.[/b]

[b]For boys, my guess is 2nd-8th grade would benefit[/b].  When there could be more movement and hands on teaching.  They have a hard time sitting still.  I don't know from experience but that is my guess.[/quote]

So lets see. You want boys and girls separated from grades 2-8 ( to benefit boys), and then separated from 7-10 ( to benefit girls). So, coed schools for K-1 and 11-12. Single sex for 2-7? IF single sex from 7-10 is good for girls but not boys, where do boys go to school? What the hell are you talking about?[/quote]

You appear to need a single room of the padded variety.[/quote]
