I also I believe school is preparation for the real world. In the real world we have men and women working in the same environment. As a parent, I want my girls to have experience speaking their mind while boys are present. This is practice for the real world. I want my son to learn to have control over his sexual urges. This is practice for the real world. Heterogeneous schools give my children an opportunity to work through real and perceived gender barriers as well as controlling pubetic urges in a safe environment. Certainly, there are isolated problems but if same-sexed schools were the approach then when would students work through this? In college? Same-sexed schools sounds like a solution for adults not children.
