At least at an all-girls private school. I might consider sending them to a co-ed private school. I went to both private and public, and my best experience was going to the mini school at a public school. Enriched learning, three trips a year (camping, Blackcomb, and June trips).

Erica i totally understand where you're coming from and I believe your brother went to the same school as i did and graduated as a prefect? a high prefect to add to that?
I have experienced both co-ed and all boy enviornments and i must say both systems have their flaws, psychological tormenting, and drama, but the fact that you have those connections and the fact you successfully graduated from the school is a whole new story which will tag along with you for the rest of your life. i understand you left the school early, but i'm closely aquainted with many people from that school who still remember and respect you (and your family).
i feel a sense of anger towards the whole system you've probably been forced into like myself. I hated it. People from my school remember me an underachiever. but i got by anyways with honours and took all the critique and shit for all the spoilt rich kids. As long as i can go back to the reunion proud that i did my best in making the best of my life i'm happy. fuck the drama of high school we all had to go through it.
