I don't really see the benefits of a same-sex school.  You need to socialize with all kinds of people to be a stable adult.  

I talk to people all day long.  Some of them have a penis, some of them don't.  I don't particularly see why males and females should be separated because of their gender.  

Yes (gasp!) possible dating could occur in a co-ed school, but it's a natural, healthy part of life, which is going to happen sooner or later.  

So, yes, schools should be co-ed.

Walk up to a guy. Stare at his crotch. When he asks what you're looking at, say "Your Brain."

Q. How many funny, cute, sweet, rich guys are out there?
A. Two, but they're dating each other

I go to a co-ed school and all the all girl schools students go: "OMG it's a boy!!!" que squealing and running at all the disco's.     Schools  should B co-ed.  If mine wasn't I wouldn't have so many cool friends.  But if it wasn't I also wouldn't have to spend half my time drooling (not really) over sum guy.

I deleted the other thread. I was trying to edit the post, but I'm sorry, I accidentally deleted it.

It's been proven that students of single-sex schools receive much higher test results. Yes, bu attending a co-ed school, you socialize with different types of people. But during adolescence, it seems that the opposite sex serves as a distraction from education.

I attend an all boys' high school. My sister attends an all girls' school. Both schools have plenty of interaction with the other, as they're closely related, and there are dances that happen twice a year. Both the schools are rated as the top high schools in our town.

I don't agree with all schools becoming co-ed or single-sex. Students should be able to make a choice from a selection.

Ellon Acadermy was coed and so was The School butterstone

I go to an all girls school, and I definitely don't go 'OMIGOD IT'S A BOY' everytime I see one. I know there is stereotypes, but we do have plenty of interaction with boys. I know people that go to co-ed schools and they say that most people don't date people from their school, it gets too complicated.

Single sex schools do get better results, especially for girls. My school had one of the top TEE results, and the others in the top 10 were mainly single sex. It's actually a lot better without the distraction of guys around in subjects like drama, and any other subject.

Although single sex schools aren't for everyone, neither are co-ed schools.

i go to a co-ed shool. but they arent for everyone. some people, like james said, might be a little to distracted. but for me, i make all a's and i still date and all. alot of my friends are guys but again co-ed schools arent for everyone. i can totally understand why some people choose single sex schools. there arent so many pressures to get a b/f or g/f and everything that goes with it.

Sorry to all the girlz who go to all girls schools  and don't act like i said.  But I know girls who are like that...  I don't mean to be mean.  But really, it happens here.  Sorry though normal all girl school attenders.

^^Oh yeah, Mystic_gurl22 , we CAN still call 'them' discos.  I'm STILL IN primary school, in case ya didn't know.

^^Thanx, really flattering.  By the way, my friends still call 'em disco's so whatever...

Sorry, but I hate it when people are just so... I can't think of a word for it.. argh!  Oh well.

Well,co-ed is much....Cuz if High School is meant to prepare us for the 'real world' then how 'real' would it be if their werent any guys/girls.That's part of the 'real world' ya know...

[LisaRocksYourWorld, yo]

I never realized single-sex schools recieved higher scores.  That's an interesting fact.  I do know people who get distracted from the opposite sex... I think that if someone is that caught up with petty teenage relationships, then they have a bigger psychological problem on their hands than just not doing well in school.  Most people I know don't get too distracted, though.  A lot of the people I go to school with tend to put their education first.

<<I attend an all boys' high school. My sister attends an all girls' school. Both schools have plenty of interaction with the other, as they're closely related, and there are dances that happen twice a year. Both the schools are rated as the top high schools in our town.>>

That's an ideal situation.  You get the non-distracting enviornment, but you still get the interaction with the opposite sex.  I don't think a lot of single-sex schools are like that, though.  I know a lot of great guys that I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for school.  The few, not that great, same-sex schools around here that I know of keep to themselves, pretty much.

HELL YEAH !!!

Gaw... I couldn't imagine those guys not being there !!

[FizzySodaPop]

I think all schools should. It's socialism, and boys and girls are going to be interacting with each other later in life, so why not start in high school?

i think co-ed schools r better cuz u get to socialize with both genders and ull get used to working/studying/sociolizing with all sorts of ppl and itll help u in the future.
imagine this scenario: uve been in an all girls/boys school all ur life and now ur workplace has both men and women, some of u may not know how to act infront of the opposite sex..ive seen it happen and its kinda sad. now im not saying that all people r like that..

[busybodies]

I don't think it's all that important for ALL schools to be Coed. All girl schools have the advantage of better grades, security (for overprotective parents to sleep easy that their baby's fine) but then there's how girls deal with males later on in life. My mum went to a convent all her school career and she said that when she went to uni she was terrified of boys. She couldn't even look at them without breaking out into a cold sweat. That isn't good either. I don't know what's best. It's up to the individual to keep his/her mind on their studies when they're in a coed school.
