[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two sons in all-boys Catholic schools- one graduated and one still attending.

Wonderful experience for both of them. Went to public elementary/middle and the oldest went to co-ed college. No problems adjusting.

I know the question was about boys schools. Will give some perspective about all-girls for my daughters. They could not have had a better experience and went to T10 co-ed colleges.

There is data supporting single sex for girls. Both have STEM degrees and the 4 years of high school allowed them to develop confidence and find their voice, which I do not think would have happened in a co-ed environment for them.

Why do you think that wouldn't have happened in one of the best high schools in the country, which are coed?[/quote]

Because they went to school with boys from K-8 and are quiet. Boys don’t listen to girls. That starts early. Instead of arguing, my girls stopped engaging.

4 years with smart peers who didn’t talk over them and ignore them has them the confidence to speak their mind by the time they went to college.

The data supports single sex education for girls and my family’s experience aligns with those facts.

It was transformative. [/quote]
The data i have seen shows some support for girls.   The same data showed that coed is better for boys.  This thread is about all boys schools.[/quote]

Well the data I’ve seen shows some support for boys. You sound like someone who didn’t have a good experience at an all boys school and had difficulty connecting with females because of it. Sorry that happened to you but that’s not everyone’s experience. Everyone is different.  [/quote]  everyone is different, I'm assuming that's why the thread was created.   We are discussing pros and cons.  The pros are coming from the schools themselves (at least partly) that need to say they are better for survival.  Seems this isn't a fair discussion and that is exactly what they want.   There have been legitimate questions asked on this thread that were ignored or attacked.  They were ignored/ attacked because the answers will prove the cons.  These cons are mild.  Hit the thread with pros, not just my kids fine. [/quote]

The pros are coming from the schools? Give me a break. Believe it or not actual parents have provided pros but you just didn't want to hear them in this troll post designed to trash Catholics and Catholic schools.  If you only wanted cons from people who have no experience maybe should have been more upfront about your ulterior motive.[/quote]  you are twisting words,  the poster said at least partly coming from the schools.   I'll see myself out now.  [/quote]

Sorry you weren't able to find anyone to take the bait.[/quote]
