Subject: single sex vs. coed schools

I agree with many of the people on here, that single sex schools provide a better environment for students making it easier to focus on their work. On the other hand, I think school and in particular high school serves a dual role in that it educates as well as socializes the students. Not only is it important to gain those fundamental levels of knowledge, but it is also important to learn how to interact with the opposite sex. I think the best solution lies somewhere in the middle. Maybe the core curriculum could be single sex, and then electives as well as lunches, etc. could be coed. That way, the students still have that learning time away from the opposite sex but can still interact at different parts of the day. After all, if all of the girls went to school by themselves who would the cheerleaders cheer for? (Just kidding, but food for thought)
