The way I see all boy/girl schools, there's no distraction to your education right at the time when boys get interested in girls, and vice versa.

Classes can then also be boy/girls specific and utilise the best ways of teaching for either

Tbh...it wasn't a problem at all....I socialised with boys outside of school enough and I have two older brothers so there were always lots of boys around our house.

Religion and Life Issues (PC alert!) was made compulsory in my school which was not a religious school of any kind. Athough my school was a "Language College" which of course emphasised on multicultralism. I now study Relgious Studies at college (I am one of two students from my school who study it - at least at my college

). I am interested in religious points of view and the moral side of it though I decare myself of no faith.

There are of course many benefits of having same sex schools, I know the Girls' school in my city has attracted a large number of Muslim students - this may help them feel less worried about male attention and teenage boys looking at the students "provocatively". And of course an all boys' school prevents this and at time of prayer there would not be no worry about the male/female divide which is a core rule of worship.

But our Boys' school in our city often has the lowest GCSE grades for the city and that could be down to the steriotypical view of boys being rough and 'ard. So it can effect the students potential.

It's the opposite here, most of the schools who get highest marks in The Leaving cert (A levels) are single sex

Evolution does not deny the existence of god or any other religion though...

I think it pretty much denies the existence of a creator.

I know that, it's just one of those things that people use in the debate.

Well it does make a god of any sorts less likely. After all, evolution isn't a process that needs any kind of outside influence. According to the Abrahamic religions, god created man in his own image, but it actually took him 13.7 billion years of evolution from the beginning of the universe to now.
