If I replace \"girls\" in #1 to #5 to \"boys\", do you think they hold true too?
Some of my reasons for girls' schools, offhand:
1) girls from girls' schools seem more confident, less self-conscious and less inhibited with or without boys around
2) girls from girls' schools have this 'I am good' air and have better self-esteem
3) girls from girls' schools speak more eloquently and are more expressive
4) girls from girls' schools have more attractive personality
5) girls from girls' schools seem more 'high class'
6) I'd rather my daughter be a lesbian in her teen than get pregnant and has to stop schooling due to unwanted pregnancy
Just some thoughts about my own classmates who came from different girls' schools. Different but same same.

Haha, I don't have much experience with boys from boys' schools but from my superficial or biased observation, those from 'good' boys' schools eg. ACS do exude this air of quiet confidence while boys from the more 'average' schools like St Pats are not as 'conspicuous' in exuding that 'I am from a boys' school' kind of air. But I really have very limited interaction with boys from boys' schools so my observation can't be accurate.

Incidentally, it seems to me girls from girls' schools tend to be more balanced in their exposure of boys from co-ed and boys' schools, which could possibly explain why they are generally more confident when interacting with boys. Ah ... another plus point of being in girls' schools.
All these are my personal biased views and silly gut feel. Don't take me seriously. -

Even those who seems like lesbians in school all turned out fine. Anyway to each his own. If u like co ed schools, by all means do so. There's no need to criticise those who prefers girls school. Don't label those from girls school as desperate coz that isn't true. Probably that is what you like to think because of hearsay when you are not even in one. -
I was from a co-ed school before I was transferred to an all girls’ school.
the feeling of being in a single gender school is different…no secrets since there are no boys around. all the girly stuff as well. -
If a person registered as GRL on 23rd June 2014. Will he be eligible to get a letter for registering the child under Phase 2B this year 2016?
-
My understanding from the information of MOE or PA website, the cutoff is 30 Jun 2016 should qualified you for the PA letter for Phase 2B priority. Did u have your GRL confirmation letter that have your date as GRL?
-
Oops… To clarify is by 30 Jun 2016, you should fulfill your 2 years of service as grassroots leader.

My son is in boys' school and I think #1-4 are somewhat true, but I'm not sure about #5 as he's only in P1.

I agree with #1 and 3...because I see these in my daughter. If I had the opportunity to put my son in an all boys' school, i feel he will be a confident and expressive person. Maybe, he may even have a higher self esteem of himself.

Aiyo…all these talks about co-ed and single-gender schools make me confused. I wanted CHIJ OLQP for my DD1 (I have 3 daughters) but DD1 and DD2 told me "I want boys in my school!" Headache. Bringing DD1 to a co-ed school’s open house later. See if she will change her mind about that school or not.
