Co-ed vs. Boys/Girls Only Schools Discussion

Interested to hear from anyone that attended 1 school option then the other in their 6-12th grades time frame.
Likes? Dislikes? Challenges/Advantages?
For the life of me = I cannot fathom going to school all those years & not getting to talk to girls before/during/between/after classes.
Plus, I was so busy playing school team sports: I really don't know how many times I'd even be in places to talk to/meet girls other than church.

It's funny because once you get to Lafayette and west, the Catholic schools are coed. It's like only southeast LA won't let it go.

As a public school educated pleb, I support the segregatedCatholic school model

its different these days w/ the snaps and tik tok apps. kids can socialize way easier than back in the days.

That's why you had to join choir/band. Only co-ed classes (at the time) at Catholic.
Shortly after I left they added a psychology class that was taught at St. Joe's. I heard it sucked but everyone wanted to take it because "Look, GIRLS!"

I definitely fall in the single sex high school and even middle school model, especially now that the prevailing educational theory is that boys and girls are not only exactly the same. Furthermore, the assumption that girls need to be encouraged and propped up while boys need to “take a back seat now due to patriarchy” is absolutely crushing the males.
If you have a boy, it’s especially important that they go to a school that challenges them in a masculine way, and teaches them how to channel aggression and to be respectful of each other and especially of women.

What kind of queer shite is this? Boy only schools? That's just as bad as the weirdos that homeschool.

My catholic high school was coed, I enjoyed the experience and met my wife
My kids attended and one still does at an all boys. They have loved the experience much more than the coed primary school days.

Went to all girl school. Loved it. Social life didn’t suffer.

I went to an all boys school in HS, and it was fine and honestly pretty fun. That being said, I do wish sometimes that I had gone elsewhere and went to a co-ed school. Just feels like it would've been a better time.

Hormones are a helluva thing. It was nice going to an all boys school and just focusing on learning instead of wondering how I looked or trying to impress girls. Also less teen pregnancies at coed schools.

I went to Catholic High.. I loved every second of it. No crazy female BS during the day... Still have a big group of friends from there, 16 years later.

Having done the all guy Catholic school thing in New Orleans, I think you can challenge guys more than girls and be stricter them in an all guy environment.
Some of ways teachers disciplined students are probably banned nowadays esp in a coed environment.

Went to an all boys school from 10-12. For me, it took the pressure off in class. Didn’t have to worry about impressing girls or looking stupid in class. I think it’s a good thing for certain kids.
That said, it made the first month of college something else.

I went to an all boys and actually ended up more social than if I'd been at a co-ed. I had to expand my friend network to area co-ed schools just to meet girls. As a result, I grew up with good friends at Country Day, Newman, St. Martin's. St. Martin's 1980s cheerleaders were fire.

one advantage of going to an all guys school is not having to care if you looked like shite in the morning.
I'll say though that when Katrina hit and I went to co-ed schools I was way happier...not even just cause flirting...idk just think it's unnatural and kinda depressing to keep guys and girls seperated

There are definitely pros and cons to both, but anecdotally as someone who did not go to a coed school, I saw my peers who did go to coed schools turn out more well adjusted than my counterparts.

Where we live it’s coed from pre-k3 to 6th, then they split to boys only and girls only from 7th-12th. The girls are cheerleaders for the boys football and and they do band, tennis, swimming, and maybe some other activities together…but they are completely different schools.
I think my son hates some parts of it with a burning passion, but I’m guessing they manage to have fun through it all. He doesn’t understand why it be like it do (very strict), but it do.
My wife and I just look and smile…I mean, that’s what we pay for. You can hate it and it sucks…but did anyone expect it to be different?

Freshmen are always in a big hurry to make up for whatever they couldn't get before going to college.
Was definitely true of gals from dick-free schools.
