Single-sex schools: do they encourage kids to be homosexuals? - Live Debate

Thank you all for taking part in this discussion. This Live Update has been closed but you can still comment at the bottom.

Rumors of such happenings at STJ have always been there.... i remember a few years ago .. a rumor was one kid /girl had a banana stuck in her privates....

Debates do not always give us the true picture of what is happening. Opinions remain opinions not - proven. Let us have a survey done by a qualified institution so that we refer to live data.

Single sex schools with expatriate staff and missionaries are the biggest culprits

thats a completely no no from me we have good mothers and fathers from those single-sex schools.

When I grew up there was no such thing as lesbian or gays .I don't mean to judge anyone but let's not blame the schools ,these pple also went to mixed schools.Its ones choice to be a gay or lesbian

I feel you are leaving out a very critical part of the schooling system, the teachers (Authorities) in most cases they are the initiators of this practice call it whatever you like. In most of these schools the teachers are the culprits. The students are initiated in by these school authorities, like in the Oprah Winfrey SA. School saga.

I attended single sex schools from form 1 to 6 and I now teach in a single sex school, i have never seen or heard of that.

@ MARVINMOOLA, take note of my opening statement, ....the times we are living..”, there has been a lot of change since the 90’s and the devil is at work as Sibbs said, he is doubling his efforts, trying to harvest as many souls to his kingdom becoz his time is short, so don’t be ignorant and say this thing is flooded and because we did’nt experience it, it existed long before we were born, but the rate at which its spreading should be a serious cause for concern.

SINGLE SEX SKULS DO NOW ENCOURAGE DIS KINDA'F BEHAVR.jus coz doz wu went 2 xul in d 90z ddn expirnce t,t don min t doesn exist now.skuls lyk evlyn,montrose&st james are now flooded!

@Kuda i gree with you i went to Gloag mid 90's i never saw or heard such kind of evil practices, This is (homosexuality) devil at work.

We have to understand the times we are living, we are in "injury time" so to say. When I attended Hamilton High School in the early 90’s we never heard or saw this kind of thing. The truth be told, homosexuality is a spirit. I don’t believe single schools encourage that behavior, but its up to one to know who she or he is, remember no one is born gay, its a choice.

Embakwe Mission is one of the single sex schools and thats the school i went to but there was never such thing like homosexual, that is in one's mind.

These girls were just experimenting - remember women are more "hormonal" and also more emotional than men. So maybe due to their cycles, body changes or something, certain thought or behaviors come out. I don't think being sent to the bush during that major transition from girl to woman is the best thing for some girls. Its better for boys.

From a mens perspective its ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. In a boys school, the worst thing you can be is overly feminine - the guys will eat you alive! When people start calling you gay your schooldays will be a nightmare. In fact in co-ed schools, a gay boy will probably hang out more with girls, pick up more female traits and become even "more gay".

Dis z partly true, bt some of dem wil b havin dat in them, so skuls r not 100% 2 blame.

its a very complicated question,well,the devil is in the workshop.

yes I do agree that most homosexuals attend single sex schools because most of the times the same sex students spend much of their time interacting with each other and sharing their sexual feelings together thereby indulging in sexual practices due to the fact that they are not exposed to a different sex partner.

I think kids have got a habit of experimenting a lot. so these schools might also be encouraging that behaviour - which is good in a way because kids will know that they are not straight from a young age.
