Of course not. There are always those who aren't like the generalisations I'm making, and I probably missed out on some experiences not continuing my high school education with co-ed just as I missed out on a mass of experiences not starting my high school education with single-sex (I've had experience in both). I don't regret either experiences and can't imagine my life currently without them.
It's not odd, and quite understandable, but I'm talking more about generalised gender and educational reasons to keep the two apart, rather than minority personal experiences. At least in Australia, there is a mass of research that says exactly the same things I do - that boys are privileged constantly in co-education systems (at least, before tertiary education) and that because society is not about to have a gender revolution and change these problems anytime soon, it's better to have the genders seperate for a secondary education experience that's deemed "better" in terms of quantative education and qualitive socialising for both genders.
