I can make an augment for both perspectives.
1> Segregation is reverse discrimination, I am glad I went to a school full of a lot of different people from all walks of life. Having them around toughened me up to the - Real World I would face once I left School. At the time however there were periods where my life was purgatory!!
2> Its great for gay/bi kids as they will not be bullied, belittled, berated and bastardised from other kids.
I attended a Private Boys School !! Yes lots of Great stories !!
Although I would not recommend someone sending their son to a Single Sex boarding school, I am glad I fell into category 1> above. As I feel I can cope with almost anything life has to dish up to me !!
Only thing was the initiation ceremonies. Tying you down to a bed naked and rubbing mentholated liniment onto your balls. When all these burly good looking boys did this to me when I was 13 I cracked a rock hard, so they all ran away before they rubbed the liniment on me !!
