How do you feel about single sex schools?

Question

If you've ever been  to one, please share your experience.

Answer

I mean I'm gay so I'm not sure it would have the desired affect on me.

Answer

I went to an all female high school and really did have the time of my life.

Answer

I went to an all girls Catholic high school, with the plaid skirt and knee socks and the whole shebang. I loved it. I had the time of my life. We never felt like we had to impress anyone other than our teachers, we had uninterrupted discussions on becoming women and what that meant for us without feeling like we were being judged or told we were "shrill" or "loudmouthed," we had top notch STEM education, one of the best performing arts/choral music programs in my home state, Division 1 athletics (I played field hockey,) a huge emphasis on community service, and teachers- yes, some nuns- who never stopped encouraging us to not just do better, but BE better. The Sisters of Mercy is a pretty fantastic order of nuns, and they believe that they are called to better the lives of women and girls. I am not Catholic (although my mother is,) and not even Christian, but I admire and respect that order of nuns so much. They changed the way I felt about nuns.

Yes, we had Mass on certain days, and we prayed before class, and we did have a couple of classes that focused on Catholic interpretations of the Bible, but we also learned about evolution in biology class, had a student run Gay/Straight Alliance, and invited leaders from other faiths to come and talk to us about their faith, including a Buddhist nun, a Muslim iman, a rabbi, and a Navy chaplain, who was actually an alumna. I loved the different perspectives, and since I was a senior when 9/11 happenes and discussions about Islam began in earnest, looking back, I am so grateful for those discussions broadening my 17 year old world and making me see how the Muslim community in my hometown was being mistreated after 9/11. It opened my eyes.

My class has produced doctors, lawyers, dentists, nurses, combat pilots, game designers, teachers, actresses, CPAs, scientists, and me, with a degree in journalism and a job in a completely unrelated field, but a job that I love with my whole heart now. High school is where it started.

Answer

I went to an all girls high school. We never felt like we had to impress any dudes, so it was great.

Answer

i went to an all girls sacred heart school until seventh grade. i made tons of best friends, focused on having fun and learning rather than impressing anyone or flirting, we all felt so comfortable with each other our whole school was like a sisterhood. it was amazing. i transitioned to a co-ed school for the rest of junior high and highschool and was a little wobbly when it came to adjusting but got over it quickly! where i live, there's four main private single sex schools, two boys and two girls. it was pretty awesome.

Answer

I went to an all-girls boarding school for the 4 years of high school. For the most part, it was positive. There weren't any dominant social cliques, and nobody bothered wearing make-up or even being fashionable in school. We complained about it at the time, but that was bonding too. ;)

Answer

WE SO DESPERATELY NEED THEM!! Studies have proven that you learn better when you're just with your one gender!! And boys are two years behind girls in maturity and the dress codes wouldn't be as strict (only because sexism would diminish a tad) I would love to attend an all girls school because girls are great!! Appreciate girls. 😊

Answer

I loved it actually.

Answer

I went to a private girl school during highschool, it's alright but then everyone became gay 😂😂 well not everyone but most girls became into eachother 😩

Answer

I make friends with guys easier, I find most girls to be fake and stuck up lol I guess it's just me. I had a couple girl friends but I hungout with a large group of guys for all my jr. And high school years. I have no clue how I would have done in an all girls school.
