I believe that there is some merit in single-gender schooling, e.g. less sexual interest and more time for bonding with one's own gender (vital for being able to succeed in life), studying, doing sports etc. Uniforms can also help prevent colour-coding and inequalities which can result in bullying.
No single type of school system is perfect but single-gender schools have a lot going for them. (There is plenty of time to explore the other gender at college or university, or even just after school hours ...)
Did you enjoy your time at an all-boys school?

Re: The above:
I am a confirmed and practising Catholic but I meet and join with a Jewish girl; religion never having come between us in our courtship. We want to marry and are both understanding and respecting each others' faith...What do we do? and how do we in the eyes of our G-d make things right?
Would appreciate your thoughts/suggestions?

What do you mean? What else is their to watch? Anyway the link I posted is very good and allways gives good facts. Most others many times talk nicer and use politically correct things and may not allways show the "frightining" aspects of the consequences. Learning from Rabbi Mizrahi you get the facts even if they seem scary, but the truth is the truth, he brings down the sources and after one sees he and she can still decide, BUT they will be aware about the deep consequences about their evil actions.

I just don't think Rav Mizrachi's videos are very good for outreach because they're very interesting - but they're very, very long. A person who doesn't want to listen to a long Shiur isn't going to watch the whole thing.

Maybe, but listining to a 2 hour Shiur by the Hacham, for something that that influence one for the rest of their life is well worth it, and in reality is not a lot of time to spend. Its just 2 hours, and very interesting, insightful, and extremly necessary. Giving a quick short answer doesn't allways do it for some people, but listining in (even if no tthe whole thing) brings down many of the sources and the vital information. + people spend most of their time in non-sense and no-one can say that they dont have 2 hours to spend, instead of watching a movie one can watch the video instead (its just the Yetzer Hara which tries to convince one that they dont have time, expecially when it comes to Spirituality, but when its other things like eating and movies or sports, etc. people make all the time they want).

Hi Salty,
I agree with you on many of your points... and yes I think most people who have a single-sex education have benefited from it and had a great education- I had some of my best times in a Catholic boys school and laterly in an all-boys grammar school in the UK. However I did also spend time in other schools -(British Embassy School et. al.) as we moved around different countries ect..
OdKahaneChai - Thank you for your concern, and it is much appreciated- The video was quite long and involved. However, I think we both got the message...this thing we have will not be viewed as Kosher no matter what we do. Interestingly, after she has talked with her parents they have now agreed that what has been said here is the truth and what they did not say earlier has been laid out here. -Funny old world...why didn't they say something before then?
-I'm now out on this subject guys, it has taught me a thing or two, but thank you anyway, all of you, for your advice. It has been much appreciated.
