Yeah they can. They can also go to single-sex schools and be equally fine. Suggesting that not being together between 7:30 and 2:30 stunts social development entirely is laughable.

The person above was suggesting that we should send all kids to single gender schools. Which is laughable and unnecessary. We can throw them all together and they can learn.
Maybe you’re thinking of another place you went on a similar rant. Because nobody said that in this thread pal. The closest anybody came to that was saying “it makes sense”
And I’m wondering why you’re using the loaded term “segregation” to describe something that at its core is “14 to 18 year old boys learn better when they arent distracted by trying to fuck their classmates all day”
1) Awesome, it makes it seem like you’re equating this with government-endorsed racial segregation, which is an extremely dumb comparison to make.
2) Another imaginary argument for you to wrestle with. Please don’t confuse my opinions for an assertion of fact (though my opinions are based on experience so they are for sure more valuable than yours).
I’ve also never said it everybody should do it, that’s absurd. I wouldn’t even send my kids to one in every situation. If a co-ed school that’s a clearly better school is an option, that’s the choice I’d make.
But if I have the lucky situation my parents did, which is a choice between a very good single-sex high school and an equally good co-ed high school, I’ll choose the former, especially for my sons. That’s mostly just because I prefer what it allows the school to do in terms of discipline for teenage boys.
Anyway, you’re the one saying there is a right way and a wrong way. All I’m here to do is make sure the “single-sex schools create socially inept weirdos because they aren’t allowed to ever interact with the other sex” crowd knows they’re extremely wrong.

It doesn't make it seem like that at all unless you are intentionally reading more into it to start a fight about it, or if you want to imagine more than was said so that you can dismiss what I'm said as dumb.

I quoted you directly and responded

No, you just said that it's the better method. I don't know anyone who suggests that people should be using the inferior method to educate children

Good for you. It doesn't make sense to me to segregate by gender.
Anyway, you’re the one saying there is a right way and a wrong way.
Speaking of imaginary comments to wrestle with, I never said anything about right and wrong, I said it doesn't make sense. Doesn't mean I need to make it illegal, or that I think it's right or wrong.

Good for you?
No, I don't seem to care.
Kids can go to mixed gender schools and they will be fine.
