[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former teacher with both co-ed and all-boys experience, and I can say that it is not uncommon to unfavorably compare boys with girls in co-ed settings. On a massive scale, without fail, boys in the co-ed school were disproportionally disciplined, kicked out of class, or cited for "attention issues," "aggressive behavior," or an inability to "sit still." While every student is an individual, and you don't want to over-generalize, there are some generalities one can form about typical learning styles for boys and girls with classroom experience, and the modern education system in the U.S. does boys a disservice in this respect. In an all-boys setting, these unfavorable comparisons are mitigated, you have teachers who are consciously willing to work with and understand boys of all learning styles. In this regard, I can understand why a family would choose a single-sex setting for their son.  [/quote]

Thanks.   So why do you think the best schools are coed?  Guessing the coed schools you taught at were public?  I think public schools can be taken out of the equation when discussing all boys vs coed.  [/quote]
