You can answer for why schools are co-educational too. I'm from an all girls school and many people think it's wrong. Although quite a significant amount of people think nothing of it, we do have the group of people that really disagree with co-educational schools. Come on, give me some opinions.

I went to an all girls school for 5 years, and we debated this topic long and hard.
Basically, girls want to be in all girls schools because they want to be able to concentrate better, not be distracted by the boys, but not have the boys disrupting the class, either. They like to feel comfortable with their changing bodies in the presence of other young women. They want to feel safe. Some girls even go there because they have been attacked by men and simply don't feel safe and comfortable around them. Then there's girls who are there because of religious beliefs.
The only real benefit to co-ed schools is that girls and boys do have things to offer each other in class in terms of opinions and ideas and skills, so they can learn from each other, more than girls can learn from just girls etc. While this may only be one benefit, it's a big one so it's not just an open-and-shut case of "there's 23 pros and 1 con", it's a little more balanced than that.

We don't have to be at all It is a choice.
The reasons have a lot to do with allowing the sexes to mix to get different perspectives of the same situations. I have worked in an all girls school as well as co-eds. The integration of the sexes was much easier to deal with than the bitchiness of the all girls school and the juvenile behaviors of an all boys school. Mixing them brought about a different behavior display and respect for the others point of view.

Most people believe that because they believe that without a certain amount of co-gender interaction, the human brain cannot properly develop to deal with "real" (vs. long distance or non physical) relationships. (I agree with that argument). However, eliminating the opportunity for relationships in the school also eliminates any chance of that becoming a distraction to the learning process, thus making the school more efficient in its main goal, education. (I also agree with that argument). It really comes down to what you want out of life and which type of school can better provide that.

Because real life is Co-ed. When you get out of school, you will have to deal with both males and females. I think it's odd for kids not to be exposed to the opposite sex through the school years.

Trains you better for social and practical life, while you grow up, through the years, that you spend in school. That is one point of view. There are many others.

ask the people why they have to be so bothered about your decision. schools are for studying , we don't check whether it is co-educational.
