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."
High school classes should be rated NC-17 or worse and that's without the language.
My son went to an all boys high school, my daughter went to an all girls high school, and I taught in a co-ed public school. The single sex schools were by far superior because most of the problems in school today revolve around tensions and issues involving the opposite sex. There was none of that in my kids’ schools. The only thing they could do was focus on academics (and sports).
Yep. It could be a good idea to have all boy all girl schools except that in california especialy they are promoting homosexuality. So as it stands doesn’t make much sense. And then if you combine this idea with the transgenders or almost transgendered !what a mess.
“High school classes should be rated NC-17 or worse and that’s without the language. “
If the class is NC-17, imagine what happens AFTER class.
Really, it should be a no-brainer. There's no reason to break up coeducational schools that are doing a good job (why fix something that isn't broken) but where you have a problem with significant numbers of schools that aren't doing a good job, this is worth looking at as part of the solution.
Coed-sex schools, same-sex schools...I’m for NO sex in the schools.
My daughter did a research paper on the idea and horrified her liberal professors! Apparently us guys are more needy and louder than girls in a class so the quieter well behaved young ladies were forgotten!
I blame the womenz for being the cute!
YES!! Our sons went to an all male high school. They actually paid attention and LEARNED, without the distraction of trying to look cool for the girls, or act bad-a$$ for their benefit.
“imagine what happens AFTER class.”
or in between.
Then, there’s lunch.
And hall passes.
I wish our boys had the option....
My H.S. experience was my H.S. experience...Period.
I'd guess....many H.S. experiences now are not as you describe. There are thousands of H.S.'s that are decent.
IMO, there are many more thousands that are horrible....
But your narrow view is wrong...IMO.
Is it a good idea?
In a word - Yes.
Immature humans to whom their care is the responsibility of their parents and othe adults need structure and focus in their lives more than they do their Liberty.
Mixed gender schools provide the opportunity for distractions from the education purpose of school.
The loss of whatever liberties are minimized by single-gender schools are more than made-up by the benefits of greater focus on the academic side of school life there.
By the way, I’m in favor of school uniforms as well; which limit another area of distraction, social competition and immature social mean-spiritness over how well some student is or is not dressed.
Well we aint all criminals! And even the public schools in the suburb of New Orleans I lived in that were coed had amazingly better results, especially the girls schools. Unfortunately libtards in New Orleans couldn’t have that, and the last all girls school went coed in the 80s.
Kids at that age learn better in single sex environments. And again, noone would dare misbehave with Brother Melchior, the weight lifting and wrestling coach, around.
Jesuit! Dark side of the force :) I went to a Holy Cross school :) In New Orleans Holy Cross and Jesuit, well it was a blood feud in football season haha.

If parents want to send their kids to single sex schools that is their right. There are certainly advantages to it.
Same for husband and I, husband to male Catholic school(high school) and I to all female Catholic high school. We both went to Catholic elementary schools. In High School, we wore uniforms and they gave us lots of homework and were taught to be disciplined in all things. Best education we both received....
I tell you, it also helped me land some pretty good jobs because the schools had great reputations.
Good Idea? First of all it is a very OLD idea and in my opinion a very good one. I went to an all boys high school taught by Marist Brothers and I thank God that I was able to attend that school and not the public school. Not only did you get a good education but it built character in a rowdy bunch of boys who left a lot smarter and much more civilized.
With all females in the class, I felt encouraged to speak up and speak out. If there was one male, I felt intimidated for some unknown reason.
There was a televised study on males and females in the classrooms years ago. Even the best teacher favored the male students. One was surprised to find that she was using the female students to help her teach while giving the male students her attention. (She would have the female students hold her open books while directing the questions to the males.)
yes, it is a great idea!
