Same sex education has been hated on for a long time now. A lot of people do not understand what the point of it is, so as a result many turned and are turning into coed schools. What people don't really understand are all the benefits that come from same sex schools educationally, for guys especially. Guys are difficult enough to teach and tend to need more attention then girls when it comes to school. An all guys' school can help to draw all the focus of educational teaching techniques towards guys. Guys tend to learn better through hands on and visual means then from listening and sitting down. Guys have a lot of energy to burn and limited patience. So an all guys' school can gear to these learning habits and focus on getting guys to learn information more efficiently.

So color and engagement are very important aspects when teaching guys and girls, both learn better with different colors and types of engagement, which is reason to separate students for class, in order to provide lectures that are suited to the specific interests.

Sounds play an important role in the educational realm for guys. Guys are usually more aggressive and louder in their actions then girls. You can observe this on the playground, anywhere really. Guys are usually rough housing with friends, yelling, being active. Girls tend to be quieter and calmer. They talk to their friends, and socialize more.
