[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My daughter plays sports because the school requires sport each season of the year.  The coed options are cross country in the fall and swimming in the winter.  My kid's predominant sport is in the fall (she's played this sport for 10 years) so she can't do cross country and she's not a swimmer and swimming has cuts. 
Anyway, the rest of the sports are single gender and again, the girls are required to do them with practice until 6pm daily

The art class rosters are what they are.  Some times there are no boys, some times there are 2, sometimes a handful.  They are all more kids than spots and everyone has to do 2 before graduation so you get-what-you-get.  It's often challenging to even get ANY spot, let alone switch out of one to another.

I was at a school event this weekend and talked to the parents of a senior who said that they are THRILLED that their daughter has dating a boy from church because she never interacted with a boy from 9th to 11th grades and they were worried about what would happen if she left for college having never interacted with a boy.  What my daughter is experiencing is not unique to her.  Again, she has at least 10 friends in the same situation.  They are lovely, fashionable, smart, funny girls.  They just live a rather monastic life--and not entirely by choice.  [/quote]
