How about hearing my experience as I am still in school?
I personally feel that in a single-gender school , :lol: I admit that problems arise in attitude and related issues, as most single-gender schools , as i feel ( which I am in one ) are more academically inclined.
As such, they have little experience communicating with the opposite gender or simply being extremely( boyish / girlish ), which may cause communication problems in the future.
For example, in an all boys school, most tend to care less about their body language, as everyone is a boy , thus displays it in public after 4 years of education in one.
In an all girl school, they may stick closer to their girl friends than boys and hence, the reason for the well known repulsion ( girls all sitting on left side of room, boys on right) .
Technically, the biggest problem with single-gender schools would be how they present themselves after years of education , thus their attitude they display , friends they make along the way.

In a mixed school, which I feel are just as good as single-gender schools in academics as long as your child works hard enough , can provide a more rounded 'education' in terms of morals.
However, the risk will be at BG relationships when they are young , or falling into a the wrong company , as such affecting their results...

Therefore, i would agree with computerkid on selection based on your child's talents..
I would strongly recommend to follow that template if your mind is still not made up.
For me, my parents let me have a free choice of whatever I wanted, I had my go at it, and I have not regretted it since then.

Paper 2 : Q1 ( pictures not uploaded yet)
Q1 ) The diagram shows a field, ABCD, which is crossed by 2 paths, DM and DB. DM is perpendicular to AB and DC is perpendicular to BC.
DM= 43m , DB = 72m , angle BAD = 62 degrees and angle BCD = 23 degrees.
a) i)Calculate MB
a) ii) Calculate AB
a) iii) Calculate CD
b) B is due east of A.
Calculate the bearing of D from B.
Q2 :a) Solve the equation x/8 = 50/x
Q2 :b) It is given that (t+p)/4 = q/5
Express t in terms of p and q.
Q2 :c) When x copies of a book are printed, the cost, $y, of each copy is given by the formula y= a + 600/x , where a is a constant.
When 50 copies are printed, each costs $17.
i) Find a.
ii) Find cost of each copy when 100 copies are printed.
iii) Find the total cost of printing 300 copies.
iv) If each copy costs $5.20, how many copies are printed?

i) What is the total amount that Alan will pay for the computer?
ii) Find the extra cost of buying the computer on hire purchase as a percentage of the cash price.
Q3 :b) Betty buys an identical computer.
To pay for it, she borrows the whole cost of $1299 for 3 years at compound interest of 6% per year.
Calculate how much interest Betty will pay?
