100-1 you are a guy too My own school was quite segregated (it was a special case), but not single-sex because that's actually banned in Sweden.

One of the advantages of being home-schooled is that you have parents
with a strong and active interest in your education. Most kids who go to regular school
get no help from their parents once they return home. The few children I knew whose
parents spent time with them after school going over lessons and homework did very
well.

Big glaring disadvantage that happens a lot with homeschooling though: Lack of social
development.

Granted I've met kids that were home-schooled and they were perfectly functioning,
well-rounded, intelligent people. At the same time I've met others who were very
withdrawn and shy, again intelligent.

I don't think I've really ever met anyone who was home-schooled that I didn't feel was
intelligent.

Well... pretty sure a single-sex school is not meant for torture! :-P

It would be though. How can I make it through math if I can't flirt with girls?
