Which is better, same-sex or mixed school?

[caroline3sg]

Hi

I was from all girls’ sch right up till sec sch. Now my girl in all girls’ pri sch. I also intend to go for all girls’ sec sch, if her result can.

Not only physically & academically considerations, but also emotionally as well. My husband told my girl not to have boyfriends when in sec sch. You can see a lot of sec sch kids couple couple nowadays. And what would happen if both parents are working, not at home?

That sounds scary. But for me I try not to go through P1 regist again. I got a boy and a girl, so would naturally prefer mix school. A mix of boys and girls is ok with me, if I am forced to choose the only nearest boys school for my son, I guess I have no choice too.


But during teenage years, hormone rages, and not only opposites attract yeah.

Hi Fettuccine


I’m having a boy and a girl too, the latter being the older of the two. We will have to register for our girl under Phase 2B ( that is provided we volunteer for PV work) and thereafter. However, my boy goes under Phase 2A1 and we are now considering if we should choose an all girl school or mixed school for our daughter. Care to share your thoughts.

Cheers

I have register my girl in mixed school. Thought of my study period, i think it's better way to let my girl go in mixed primary school, and have her secondary study in girls'.

that is what i am planning too
especially when i got another boy
it is more important to let my girl go to a girls sec than a girls pri

Hi raynreg and ctc61t,


Congrats, good to hear you have registered. Good decision to have your daughter go to mixed primary school. I personally think this would allow the kid to be more \"socially balanced\". By the time she reaches puberty and going to secondary school, its not too late also to choose a girls school.

I'm from a mixed school and from primary to a lousy neighborhood secondary school, was very \"gong gong\" during my generation I think my father was strict with our upbringing...Also depends who your kid mixes with, all my friends were \"straight and decent\" type, haha.

Personally, I would still let my children go to mixed secondary school, rather then having crush on the same sex, better to have teenage crushes on opposite sex. Of course, I do not encourage boyfriends/girlfriends at secondary level. All my kids will be taught properly about these boy/girl things...

My two cents worth.

Haha..think for me, a good mixed pri sch is the best cos next time when your kid grow up n married...they'll have kids right? So can you or anyone guranteed that your grandkids are going to be the same sex as your kid?? Like me, I'm having headache liao cos I was from RGPS but I can't possibly send my son to RGPS right??? now have to crack my head..darn.

That's good logical reasoning

Headachemum, why worry for your grandkids? U should leave those worries to ur kids mah, LOL. They should find a spouse who studied in a good boys/mixed school if that is their concern, and not to rely on their parents to worry about their future generations

If a DD goes to RGPS, ask her to get a husband from ACS or C. High.

If a DS gets into ACS or C. High, then ask him to get a wife from RGPS.

There are reports that said girls and boys learn differently. From the recent O level results, we can also see that most top students are from single sex schools - St Nich or C High.
