Mixed sex school has it

I've only heard of single-sex schools through talks, stories, news, and movies. I've never met anyone from such schools or seen the premises. Each time I hear about them, I keep wondering how things are managed. The movies and stories I've seen and heard have those explanations to me but I keep imagining myself in such situations and playing along.

As a male, I'm curious about how boys manage to go years in school without talking about their crushes. It just seems unusual to me. Having boys and girls in a school is a big fun with many benefits to our school life.

Both school settings have their advantages. Some people believe that single-sex schools have fewer distractions, while mixed-sex schools are said to boost social relationships and help individuals stand out. Personally, I think mixed-sex schools are more advantageous. It's not because I attended one, but because I believe they offer more benefits for the following reasons:

Practicing of leadership:

You see the thing of woman leading both women and men as seen in a situation whereby a woman is the president of a country or a governor of a nation, it didn't just start there. A girl picking up leadership in mixed sex school is a bedrock of such.

Improved Social Life:

We are social beings living in a mixed world (male and female), and mingling with both at a young age helps improve social skills. I would have been a very dull person in my social life if I didn't pass through the mixed single school because I was brought up in my very early age in a 'holy setting' where mingling with opposite sex was seen as a sin.

Although things can sometimes get out of hand, especially in schools with loose rules where issues like sexual assault may arise, a well-regulated environment helps students get accustomed to social life before reaching adulthood.

Back in my school days, there were activities we weren't interested in, especially when they were male-oriented. However, when girls were involved, we were more enthusiastic and participated eagerly.

Things have changed a lot in schools nowadays. Before, we were only allowed to have crushes and fantasize about relationships, but we weren't openly allowed to date. We used to imagine relationships and marriage in our heads, and it was fun. These days, young people in school don't just think about these things—they actively experience them, often crossing boundaries.

Academic Growth:

From my experience, we had a lot of competition during those days. We had smart girls who liked to show off their academic intelligence, aiming to top the class and become the "queen of the class" It would have been an embarrassment for us to let a girl top the class, so the competition was always intense.

I know this should be high in single-sex schools as well, but in my school, it was particularly pronounced. Also, the smarter the guys were, the more the girls admired them. So, you see why we were all motivated to perform well.

Thanks!
