[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does this mean that boys that go to all boys schools are ALL doing great? Because the learning and activities are centered around them? No failing boys from private all boys schools? None. [/quote]

I'm curious about this, too. Do boys from all boys schools get a completely different style of education that is tailored to them? Do they have more recess, more time to wander around the classroom, jump around, talk loudly, etc.?[/quote]

Not at my son's Catholic school. They enforce consequences for behavior. That's the biggest difference IMO. There was no enforcement in public school. The line was out the door every morning at the dean of student's office. It was mostly the younger boys who were learning that their behavior actually had consequences. Most everything else was similar to the girl's Catholic schools. 45 minute classes, 1-2 free periods per day, lots of homework every night, no retakes, no extensions, etc. The expectations were high. No excuses. Even athletes missed practices and sometimes games if they broke a rule. It was very no nonsense and once boys learned this, most fell into line. They would expel kids for drugs. No questions asked. Suspensions for other offenses like smoking, vaping (vaping pot was an expulsion). [/quote]
