what are the pros and cons of a single sex school?

Answer 1

There are many, and some have been mentioned by the above answerers, though I do not agree with some of the answers given. >_<;

The Pros

(a) no need to worry about peers of the opposite sex. Whether this contributes to concentrating more on studies is dependent on the individual.
(b) one is able to talk openly about everything like menstruation problems or puberty related issues.
(c) one tends to forge closer bonds with peers of the same sex.
(d) there won't be many opportunities for one to get embarassed. -_-;

The Cons

(a) one might become very awkward talking to peers/other people of the opposite sex.
(b) one might turn out to be gay. [this can be either good ot bad, depending on your mindset]
(c) one might not be able to differentiate between things that one can or cannot say in front of the opposite sex. Private things, if you know what I mean. =P


Truth be told, it's all up to the individual on how to view it. >_<

Answer 2

PRO:

Less becoming embarassed because members of the opposite sex are there
Less worry about what you're wearing
Less worry about someone stealing your b/f-g/f at school
Less time worrying about what your crush thinks at school
More time to actually learn

The only CON I can think of is that there is a possiblility that one school may teach more and better than the other
