I went to Stuyvesant high School in New York City, a non-religious, all boys 
high school (now co-educational). I enjoyed and benefited from every minute 
of its outstanding program.

As a high school principal, my school had some classes only for young men 
and some only for young women. The US Supreme Court ruled that such classes 
were illegal. Consequently, many young men and women refused to take those 
subjects in co-educational classes and missed an opportunity to learn.

Single sex schools would be one way to improve discipline in Israel's 
schools while offering expanded learning opportunities. Since I made Aliyah, 
I find it very difficult to see the level of operation of some of Israel's 
schools which were once rated as among the best in the world.
