<p>With respect, our airing our prejudices against different types of schools is not helpful to the OP. Middle school is not high school. Every school has a different culture, frequently determined by the adults in charge. I could just as well opine that the presence of girls forces boys to behave in a more gender-stereotyped way.</p>
<p>ItsNotHogwarts, I’ve bumped a thread on boarding school parents. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-parents/1283753-bs-parent-resource-list-4.html#post16735691[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-parents/1283753-bs-parent-resource-list-4.html#post16735691</a> I suggest you contact parents who have sons at single-sex boys schools for their opinion of the matter. As it’s break time, their sons might be home.</p>
