research has shown that males tend to do better in co-ed schools at secondary level, whereas females tend to do better in single sex schools.

apparantly... they thought is was to do with males learning that females were friends and not just something to think about and jack off to.

whereas females learn that they can do math and metalwork and woodwork etc withough being given a hard time etc.

but i don't know...

i've heard rates of eating disorders tend to be higher for girls in single sex schools so who the %#@&#! knows...

i guess different people are different... if you are raised with siblings of opposite sex and get to know their friends etc....

i think that males and females aren't so very different really... socialisation has a lot to answer for...
