<p>I am in favor of single sex for females, they develop great leadership skills and the evidence supports this premise. My daughter thrived in an all girls school. On the other hand, my son was in an all boys middle school and was accepted into an all boys boarding school. He said it was fine for middle school but by the time you get to high school it gets old. He observed on his visits that the academic environment seemed to include a lot of horsing around and the students didn’t seem to be as serious about academics. I think it helps boys develop better social skills in the coed environment. He did not want to attend a single sex school for high school which is one of the reasons he is away at school now. Although I think the novelty of coed was short lived, he was being followed around by someone who was interested in him but he wasn’t ready for that. I still think it is nice to have the opportunity to develop friendships with girls.</p>
