I don't know the answer to this but I can give my experience. I think no matter where you go there will be distractions, like bullys or people who get you into 'the wrong crowd' etc I've always been in mixed sex schools and to be honest it was only when I reached 14-15 that I became distracted by boys in class. Normally, around the age of 10 I would go to school and play 'kiss chase' in the playground, it would normally be me gathering all the cute boys to play. But that was during break. When I was 16 I did get distracted by boys in class, but who doesn't get distracted by something that looks better than your lesson!? I ...  Read the complete review

I attended a single sex boys school from the age of 6-13 and then mixed schools for the rest of my education, so I know first hand the advantages and disadvantages of both single sex and co-ed schools. I always assumed that boys and girls worked better separately, because there's less distraction. Indeed, I experienced this first hand - guys muck around much less when there's no girls to "impress" - and generally work much harder. However, I was reading an article in The Observer which suggested that this was not true, at least in the case of girls - they looked at the example of Belgium - where co-ed schools are in the minority, and where ...  Read the complete review

Since world war number of single sex schools have been declining in the UK. Nowadays you will find rare single sex secondary schools. Ones that are still going are either religious schools, privately run schools or grammer schools. Studies in Europe and America have indicated that single sex schools are outperforming mixed schools where both girls and boys attend. In America Bush has been giving more money to single schools and now there are more single schools there than before Bush came in power.

In the field of education in the UK single sex education has a longer history than mixed sex education however in the present day it is the mixed education system mainly in the form of the state run comprehensive education that is the format that educates the majority of students. Many people have quite strong views on whether single sex education is better than mixed education even if for the majority there is little option but to send their children to mixed sex schools. Even in a mixed sex school it is still possible to find children in single sex classes for some subjects, in my last school Public, Social and Health Education (PSHE) was taught in single ...  Read the complete review
