There has been a recent study done determining that boys and girls learn far better when not distracted by the opposite sex...maintaining, particularly for boys, that marks are up and misbehaviour is down when girls are ot in class with the boys...so the boys are particularly at risk of a good and stressless education

I don't have a problem with it through high school. Then, mix them up in college.
For something like this, you can't base it on just one experience. You have to look at it from a broader perspective.
You can't separate them forever. They need to have lots of interaction some time. However, they can cause distractions. Boys do things to try and impress girls. Girls do the same to try and impress boys. You separate them and you remove that temptation. You won't fix all the problems, but you do remove a big temptation. Especially as kids start hitting puberty.
I've seen how things are in the US, and I've seen how they are in other countries. I actually like separating them after seeing the results. Those experiences have also made me in favor of school uniforms.

In the "real world" men and women have to work together. I have three boys and I am not sure it is a good idea. They have to learn to be around each other. Would this be for primary school, high school, college? We moved mid school year last year. The only people who talked to my son at first were the girls. I think the transition would have been harder if he had a male only class. I can't speak about high school aged children because I don't have any.

This almost sounds like segregation to me. Both of my boys are in elementary school in 3rd and 5th grade and so far they haven't seemed to have any problems with distraction from girls. My youngest does have a few girls that he sits next to and they do talk a little through class but he is still making straight A's on his grade cards. It might make a difference in highschool but I don't think it will make much difference for the younger grades. There are always a few from both sexes that just can't be quiet regardless of whether it is a boy or girl sitting next to them. I don't think segregating is going to make much of a difference.

I teach both boys and girls post 16, however previously taught under 16s again both and found it very useful not to separate them. I feel if you do this then you are encouraging them to 'find' each other, also boys are more easily distracted anyway generally but if you want to delve deeper surely children either sex will find things to distrate them for learning anything educational?

The British have been educating children this way for a couple of thousand years. Seems to work for them.
