Co-ed vs. same-sex education
Sporadicblogger feels that girls’ schools and colleges allow young women to grow without the imposition of gender constructs.
In several co-ed colleges, one sees that very few girls ever occupy union positions. If they do at all, they are elected into positions that are traditionally seen as a female domain-cultural representatives, literary representatives. Seldom will one find a girl sports representative…
Sunita disagrees and hopes to send her daughter to a co-ed school.
Co-ed boys and girls in my opinion learn early to accept each other just as fellow beings destined to share the space on earth. Friends who came in from a all-girls or all-boys were generally very reserved and shy with the other gender around. Also I believe a lot of unassisted sex education happens in all-girls/all-boys school from what you hear and see.
Having studied at a co-ed school and then at an all-girls college, Chandni argues that co-ed schools help kids develop well-adjusted relationships with the opposite sex.
I think if boys and girls start to be in the same vicinity from early on, they would learn to develop healthy equations and know how to behave with each other. And they would know its no ”big” deal, being around someone from the opposite sex hopefully keeping “desperation” at bay.
What do you think?

It really depends on the personality of the student: some personalities develop better in a synonymous environment and others develop better when faced with adversity.
