I understand public schools and other stuff like that, but i dont understand girl and boy schools. i mean, who would want to be in a school with only boys or only girls??? some people out there do go to one of these schools, but y? i am not trying to be self centered or anything like that, i just want to know what u think!!

I don't think I could stand being in an all girls school. I'm not against single sex schools, but I like coed better. It's more fun, I think. And no, I'm not one of those boy crazy girls, I just like interacting with all sexes. I've got lots of friends that are girls and lots that are boys, and I feel comfortable with both. And sometimes it's nice to be able to talk to a guy about sports and stuff (since my life practically revolves around sports. I hate that my generation's girls are so . . . girly. All they-some of them think about is clothes and boys. I just hate it). And I get my work done fine, I've got good grades and all. And I can work with my friends that are boys, 'cause some of them are really smart. And when I think of people that are funny, sure my girl friends can be funny, but it's mainly the boys that keep me laughing. I need that in my life. Sure, I guess it wouldn't be horrible going to an all girl school, but I'd really miss my guy friends.

Well, anyways, that's just what I think . . . .

I honestly think that its easier to do school work with guys around. Think about it, they dont critisize as much, and they dont talk constantly. Plus I couldnt stand not seeing guys all day, HOW DO YOU GURLS LIVE!?!?!

i go to a public school and i dont have any problem with concentrating. it all depends on how youchoose to spend your class time.i have no problem concentrating. i save all my flirting for on the bus.

I also go to an all girls school to it does seem alittle easyer then if there were boys around. I can concentrate on what I have to do.

I think that if you really want to get out of school and be a success with the attention of knowing that you wont need any disturbance by the opposite sex. Then it's good for you. On the other hand if you have no choice but to go to a all girl school, I would switch back cause think about a world with out any BOYZ would make you straight bored and wanting boyz by the minute. So take it upon yourself to do what ever you can to find somebody maybe at the movies or at a club neighbor's son anything just play it kewl!

Hey Guess What ? Whoever Posted This Topic...You Put "Gils" Instead Of "Girls" .lmfao. =)

I think it's odd to have boys and girls schools.Yes you can probably concentrate better,but in the bigger world,if you are use to only being in front of your own sex,how can you interact with the opposite one?How could you possibly be able to tolerate the opposite sex in your adulthood if you are not around 'em in your childhood?

I think that having boys and girls schools are good in some ways and bad. They are good because then they wouldn't be imbarassed to speak infront of the class. But girls and boy should get used to talking infront of both sexes. Maybe classes of all girls and all boys. But then they would get used to speaking infront of the own sex. When one of the sex's has to speak infront of the other sex, it would be much harder for him or her to speak.

I think it is good to express ourselves. I want to tell you that I've been in boys and girls schools all of my life. I have never been in an "only girls school". I guess it would be nice, so we can talk only girl stuff and be kidding all night without being worried about how to look tomorrow morning, or being modeling by the hallways, and it is worst in some way, because sometimes we need a boy to help us to make diference in our way of thinking.

but u dont get the same social standards as public school

There's nothing wrong or weird about going to an all-girl or all-boy school. I went to an all-girl high school for 4 years. I found it easier to get my work done because I could focus without worrying about how I looked or acted. It was easy to meet boys from other schools too. Many people think that if you go to a single sex school, you never meet people of the opposite sex. That is so untrue. There are plenty of activities (dances, clubs, sports, drama, volunteer work, etc.) that you can do where you'll meet others from different schools You don't believe the only friends people have are through meeting in the actual school building, do you?

It's true that the real world won't be separated into boy or girl, but you're not going to be at the school all your life. Yes, it might be difficult for a few people to interact with the opposite sex when they're out of school, but they should have had some practice with the extra-curriculars they were in, if they took advantage of it. Besides, I'm sure they'll manaage it just fine. It's not as if a person never has any kind of interation with someone of the opposite sex in their life. We all interact with diffent people everyday....

when u reach the working world - it will not be separated in to boys and girls. so i don't feel that schools should be either. you may get more work done, but if a girl has been in an all-girl's school her entire life, I think it would be awkward for her to have to deal with guys in a working environment. having an all-sex school just makes a gap between the sexes.

...girls schools aren't that bad.
i used 2 go to a co-ed school, but i changed in year9. i think its a lot easier to learn in single sex environment. it sounds kinda weird, but you get your work done. and its not like you are fully deprived of any contact with the opposite sex- you have a brother school and a lot of 'school activities' ie. social service, work experience, leadership stuff, musicals, productions, sport, socials <i think they are called dances in the US> are done with your brother school.

I think that people think that if boys and girls go to different schools then they would be more focased on school and less on dating and things like that. But that's just my opinion:) Talk to you later!

it think its odd to have boy and girl schools. i can see why they do it, but still. it throughs off the balance of nature. and not to mention social skills.
