Good points, and an interesting take on the single-sex school, which we have already, albeit private ones. I would want to see a mixed bag of it, because boys and girls have to learn how to get along. Girls have to learn how to speak up and not let boys answer all the questions. Boys need to learn how to stand down. And both need to learn not to bully. And yes, both need good role models (although I have a jaundiced view for how good a role model any nun or priest is).
We are in an age, though, where humans overall are in a stage of almost perpetual arrested development. People could be responsible adults and fully expected to act like it at 18 or 20, get married, raise a family, and they did. A better, longer education puts off adulthood for many until the early to mid twenties. But there were also certain expectations we had for young people. My growing feeling is that too-permissive parenthood is beyond many of our problems (esp the 'trans kid' craze, which seems to be found mostly in liberal families because conservatives tell their kids the truth, "No, you can't be a girl, you're a boy, and you can't change that.") There's plenty to criticize in conservative parenting too - they famously aren't tolerant of their gay kids, either - but gay kids are real and more pervasive than 'trans kids', which, if you remove the gay men, the autogynephiles, and the politicals trying to get laid or destroy women's right to say no to anything, you're left with that very tiny number of probably genuinely 'trans people' who don't outgrow it.
