I think co-ed schools are the way to go. The different sexes have to function together as adults in a society (in the workforce etc) and they might as well learn how starting from a young age. I don't think single sex education is the only reason we get pervs, but i think cornellian is right- the more of a taboo, the weirder people get and single sex education creates this feeling that interaction between the sexes is a taboo of sorts. Of course, there are also other factors.

As for the fact that boys and girls learn in different ways- that's true, but it's also true that no two people learn in the same exact way irrespective of their gender. People in general learn in different ways and schools should accomodate all these differences as best they can. We should help teachers overcome gender stereotypes where they exist, not deal with the problem by sending kids to seperate schools.

We have to learn to co-exist and we might as well start young. But that's just my opinion. You all have valid points. And Greeker, i think your case was well put.
