California.. All Male Schools.. No Girls Allowed..

Published reports say the Stockton Unified School district is looking at the possiblity of all male schools. The idea is to tackle some behavioral and academic problems for male students in K-8 classes.

If the plan moves forward it would be similar to what officials in Long Beach established for their male students.

Their mission statement includes:

".. to improve the graduation rate of underrepresented promising male students and to encourage lifelong learning by preparing them for college and career options."

I appreciate your reply to this thread.

I felt stronger, more confident and actually empowered when I attended Salem College in Winston-Salem.

It is by far one of the best experiences of my life and, being that I paid for my own tuition, one of which I am most proud.

My most all-time favorite professor was from New Zealand. He was so unbelievably hard and gave much more homework that all of my other professors put together. I was in awe of how much I learned and envious of the New Zealand students for whom this was the norm.

Yes, a good option, plus uniforms. The social environment is now so sexually charged that separation is a good alternative.

I went to an all-girls Catholic school. It was a great experience.

Where do you teach?

I'm in a relatively rural, predominately white area and am constantly appalled at the clothing, behavior and language of our children.

Never said I taught public school. Although I was a clinical instructor for a couple years.

I dunno how you came to that conclusion....

Good luck!!
