I was thinkng the same thing. Many of the problems, it seems, at my school have to do with PDA (Public Displays of Affection). It is actually announced daily that these displays will be dealt with by suspension. It is also clear what is on the mind of many in class, and too often, it is not my economics/government lesson. Rather, it has to do with the opposite sex. I hate the fact that it might be necessary, but what about single-gender schools?

I think it would be beneficial to have single-sex education for social and academic purposes. Oftentimes people assume that single-sex education impedes on an individual's potential to successfully interact with the opposite sex. Perhaps single-sex educational programs that work collaboratively with their counterparts might better foster social growth since teachers and administrators would have more control over the interactions that would take place. Peers of the opposite sex can serve as a distraction in the classroom, so it might be better for the students if that distraction were removed.
