same sex is probably better because there is too many distractions in co-ed schools :rolleyes:

Co-ed is definately better.. And i'll send my kids to a co-ed school as well..

Why??

How else will you learn to "operate" (couldn't think of a better word) when your an adult in the bigger society.. (eww.. sorry bout the wierd wording)

Being in a co-ed school (i'm in one) lets you learn about how to act around the other sex.. and regardless of age.. it's an experience you will never forget.. :)

true...but high school kids are in "in general" a lot more immature than in adult society.

i honestly think that anyone who says co-ed is distracting has either never been to one, has spent little time there or was just a major whore. you get a broader spectrum of ideas and opinions, therefore if i was ever to spawn, co-ed is the way

IDK, I learned, and pretty quickly too.

I went to a same-sex school throughout highschool, and I'm glad I did. The female cliques were bad enough; I couldn't imagine how bad it would have been with males added to the mix!

I honestly reckon it doesnt matter, ive been to co-ed and all boys, it doesnt really make a difference. I suppose theres less distractions in same sex, but then again james ruse is co-ed...

thinking along these lines, I'd say if you were motivated and dedicated to your work, then being in a co ed environment wouldnt distract you that much, ie ruse.

but for those less motivated students that can barely keep focused on the lesson in a same sex school, introducing the opposite sex is going to destroy all hope they have of getting a decent mark.

I do remember my teachers always saying that same sex schools have proven to produce better marks or something. i still wonder how true that is
