I went to an all male Catholic school in New Orleans, my wife went to a girls school. In fact the public schools had a few separate schools, with waiting lists to get in them.
I am an advocate of single sex schools, everyone concentrates on school instead of appearances or whose dating who.
Went to an all girls schoolin Upstate NY. Excellent.
I went to a Catholic high school in Dallas (Jesuit) and also an advocate of single sex schools. A lot more emphasis on academics to be sure.
I went to an all-male Catholic school too . But the “all-male” part of it wasn’t the Only reason it was a good school.
Note that prisons are all-male as well.
Withou a guiding moral code, mission, purpose, parental involvement, and independence that my private school had, I suspect the California educrats, who understand nothing of this, will more-or-less turn these into prisons also.
That said...I'd be a supporter of same-sex schools...because I know it can be distracting.
I attended a private women’s college in NC. I cannot say enough about separating the sexes in education. When I went to a state coed college, I was amazed at how the teachers favored the male students and how the male students commanded so much attention. Not necessarily a bad thing, just genetics and biology, but I did notice a big difference in my ability to concentrate when there were men present.
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.
