[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having trouble understanding why a parent wouldn't want their boys learning to be comfortable with a co-ed learning environment, given that colleges, graduate schools, and workplaces all tend to include both men and women. A child coming out of a single sex environment will always, necessarily, be less well prepared for the real world.[/quote] Parents may like a school that happens to be all-boys instead of actually seeking an all-boys school just because it’s all-boys. The real question is whether parents should opt against an all-boys (or all-girls) school they otherwise like for a coed school they feel less strongly about as a matter of principle. That’s certainly defensible but hardly the obvious best choice. On the less prepared point, maybe. But that is easily addressed after a few months at a (likely) coed college. So it would be one more adjustment on top of everything else. Then life goes on. [/quote]
