This is the worst part of it. It sounds mind-numbing.
“Students attend school 11 hours a day, 6 days a week, 11 months of the year.”

I’d still prefer to be around both sexes, but to each his own.

It is the length of time they spend in school that bothers me-my husband went to a snooty boarding school, and didn’t spend that much time there...

Well, I imagine that time would be filled with more than just schooling, for these kids with bad home environments. I don't necessarily support that, but who knows.

Of course teenage boys would prefer to be around girls, but it's not good for them in school.

Boys, by themselves, with positive adult male leadership, develop an esprit de corps and encourage each other to succeed through their natural competitiveness.

Girls learn better through collaborative effort, which develops their confidence.

I know this through my own experience and that which I've seen in my two children, boy and girl, who attend a Catholic school where most classes are sex separated.

I "enjoyed" my later school years, with girls around, but looking back, I don't think it was best for me.
