Many parents feel more comfortable sending their children to religious private school over public school. Even non-religious parents tend to believe that these schools will keep their little angels out of trouble. In actuality, studies have proven that there is absolutley no correlation between attending a particular school and participating in risky behaviors. There are so many various factors that effect adolescents' behaviors, and it appears as though attending a private school versus a public school has no bearing on the decisions a student will make.I thought this was very interesting, because a number of religious private schools are single gendered and it seems like that might limit a child's risky behaviors.
