I would prefer separation.
The courses can be more customized to those students.

I would like to see separation of the sexes for middle and high schoolers. Education is extremely expensive to American tax payers and when kids in school are more concerned about the opposite sex than getting their work done, we are wasting our tax dollars, and they are wasting an important foundational time of preparation in their lives.

Girls tend to mature faster than boys in some areas, so that in grade school, girls often do better. In Middle School and High School I would like to see the boys competing with each other.
I think this would bring out their competitive nature and that's not a bad thing to push each other along a bit in trying to do your best at learning.

I think it would take some pressure of the boys and the girls
to have to be cool and popular and some of the pressur off both sexes to be getting involved in sex too early. Virginity is once, and it's easy to do something you'll regret a lot later.

It would also cut down, I think on the need for so many extra-academic subjects and curricula.

I would like to see three lines begin in middle school--one more technically oriented for those whose gifts and skills are invaluable but do not require college. Everybody isn't cut out of it and our school system assumes it is.

The second line would be art and literature, and the third would be science track.

I'd like to see by high school the science track people getting in depth on their maths, not just a semester of this and a semester of that. But four years of chemistry, of physics, of the maths through the calculus.

I think today's kids are bored stiff in school, and looking at the textbooks, and the idiotic schedules, and the insane number of courses, and the a days and b days and c days and half day schedules and everything else that impedes focus and concentration, I do think that separation of the sexes would be a very good thing for all. And especially for the men. It seems to me that more and more it's mostly women running education and I don't think that's good. Men need good men to model what it means to grow up and take responsibility.

I think seperation would be better, especially during middle/high school times. It is thought that students will learn and try to do better in class with the same sex then with mixed sexes.

Separating sexes could damage the students socially. While understand this could distracting for some, they have to learn to interact with each other on a regular basis. They have to be prepared for the real world.

I believe that it is a great idea because males can be more advanced in a subject than females and vis versa. It is important to let students go at their own pace. It is also a comfortable way to learn and students don't have to be critisized by other gender classmates.

First of all it would be against your rights to be segregated by gender.. it would be the same thing as segregating by race in schools and last time i checked that is illegal. in the real world outside of school you have to be able to interact with both males and females.

It should definitley be kept the same. You can't seperate the sexes in real life, their not gonna make men and women work in different areas, or in different jobs. So you can't make them learn differently. Working together in school prepares them to work together in the future.

I like co-ed. It's more interesting and less boring that way.
