All-boys school for my boys. I think boys learn differently from girls.

I believe that too. They have different developmental paces, interests and strengths.

hi,


just to share...
i was from co-ed pri and sec school, and didn't find the boys distracting.
In fact, I found most of them rather annoying cos they always stink after soccer, which they play during recess and before/after school, and PE.
And so, they were no distraction to me in studies :rotflmao:

And when I went to JC, the\"monks\"and \"nuns\"were like, so shy around the other gender when there mixed social activities like mass social dance, etc, and i was like \" what's the big deal\" and just went around my schoolwork and activies.

Anyway, I think BGR is safer than GGR , which i hear were rather common from my JC/uni frens from top girls' sec schools.

But I agree that statistics show that top performers through the decades have been from single-sex schools, so that is something to ponder upon.

Haven't decided for my kids yet, but for practical reasons, for primary school, as long as it's a good school, fairly convenient and not too distant to travel, doesn't matter co-ed or single-sex
Sec school will depend on their results and preferences

These days being in a same sex school doesn’t stop the students from having BGRs. They meet each other at tuition centres, batch lunches, group outings, and of course Facebook.

I prefer Co-Ed schools all the way.


My sis-in-law told me that research showed that girls perform better in an all-girls school but boys perform better in a co-ed school. True?

My girl is going to Primary 1 next year. I will most probably be putting her into a convent school.

I opened this thread with a laugh. 10 years in an all boys school. Pri 1 to Sec 4. Everyone mostly Chinese as my school is a SAP school. Racial Discrimination hah. XD

I am due to register my gal for P1 and I am hesitate to send her to convent after hearing the pros and cons of it… Advise pls

Both my kids come from a co-ed Primary School n now in co-ed Secondary School. I am all for mixed, its better for both genders to mix when they are young.


I am from a Convent school n I don’t like it.
