[quote=Anonymous]The world is 50/50 male/female. People choose coed or single sex schools depending on whether or not they want their kid’s school experience to reflect this. There are arguments for and against both types of schools. But if you choose a coed school, you don’t want it to be 80% male. [/quote]

Humans are born at about a 50/50 rate, yes, but once active in the world, there are more females in America actively in place within schools, stores, and even homes. Males are incarcerated are higher rates in this country and don’t live as long as women. The point is that society doesn’t have even amounts of genders, so why should our schools?

Just look at your own home, I bet there are either more males or more females in your own home. Your workplace isn’t 50/50 gendered, your gym, your grocery store, etc. Students should be admitted based off of their own hard work of doing amazing work in their classwork, extra-curriculars, volunteerism, communities, etc. but if you are have a son, then their gender is a factor against them in a small school that has plenty of girls already.

I wish I had known this when I was applying and I just would want any other parents of sons to be aware and to perhaps not put all your eggs into the St. Andrew’s basket just in case….or apply to 6th grade or earlier. [/quote]
