I studied in a co-educational school right from my childhood. I never had the shyness to speak with co-girl students. But when i went to my college, some of my friends had more shyness to talk to girls because they studied in boys school with no girls. The case is also same with some girls because they also studied in girls school with no boys. I think co-educational school is the best for either boy or a girl. What is ur opinion???

For the same reason, I prefer for my boys to attend a co-ed school. I think it is better that they learn to interact with the other gender in their young age and be able to understand that both genders have differences. I don't want my boys to be shy around girls when they get to teenage years because they don't know how to talk to them. I also want them to learn to to treat ladies properly and they learn that by constant interaction with the other gender

even I too agree that Co-Education is the best a child can get. I even remember that our class teacher used to make us sit in between girls when we were at 3rd & 4th grade so as to erase shyness & that we can mingle freely with everyone. So according to me co-ed is preferred over separate schools.

During my 1st std to 4th std girls will be in less number that is 1/3rd of the class. We all will be mingled in benches. If any boy fights with an adjacent boy,my class teacher will give punishment to sit in between girls. Even i got that punishment once in my 2nd std.

Co education is always better. The reason being once the boys and girls move together, the boys will not tease and harass the girls in general.Once you start moving with girls from the young age, when you grow up, you will be more open and broad minded. So I prefer the co education method.

When schools split Boy and girls, They're trying to stop public displays of affection in the hallways. Fact is, kids both boy and girl need to interact with each other. They learn key developmental skills and they don't end up still living with their parents 40, playing world of warcraft all day!

I studied in co-ed in my elementary school and and semi co-ed in High School. Semi co-ed means that girls and boys have separate classroom and will only see each other in extra curricular activities like club's meeting, student council meeting, etc. For me, I am also not shy in terms of talking to opposite gender. But I still have friends that are timid though we have the same exposure. I think it still depend on one's personality in how he/she relate to the opposite gender. School may be one of the reason of one's shyness but not the major factor. I think personal experience is the main reason of the person's shyness.

i think if ur friends have studied in co-ed high school i.e same classroom for boys & girls so that they would not have that much shyness when concerned with opp gender.
Yes personal experience always helps. I think that u might having one or two sisters or u will be having many childhood girl friends around ur locality and so u are not have any shyness.

I have studied in co-educational school since my childhood. I never had any problem in speaking to girls. But, i think it is not necessary for a guy to have studied in a co-ed environment to be able to speak to girls. the only thing you need is confidence. The boy/girl is not able to speak to the opposite gender beacuse of lack of confidence, that's all.

I also did all my schooling from co-educational school and I believe that co-education has many advantages over separate school education. I feel co-education is better than the other one because if we are in co-education we usually try to be friends with the boys and girls irrespective of their gender. We get a good environment of frienliness.

Hmmm... I experienced studying in all girls school with nuns and i find it negative. why? because girls turned more flirty than girls who studied in Co-ed schools. They are more hunger when it comes to boys and if not they having a relationship with their classmates.

i dont think so school u studied leave any impression like that..coz in my case im from co-educational institution n trust me i never speak to gals....on other hand my sister is from girls school n she never faces socialising problem..
also some of my friends are from boys school..they hadn seen gals b4 n now they've developed a craze flirting gals and are ruining their life going behind gals..
it all depends on ur first school(home) bro...nothin to do wid school n college
