just as a by the way – talking about mixed learning as if we who have grown up separate genders… have missed out. I know someone who has lots of baalei teshuva over and one of the things he asks them out of pure curiosity is – sitting in a mixed classroom, how much of your brain was busy with classwork and how much was busy impressing/whatever else into the opposite gender. You can answer it for yourself. So even on a very practical, nothing to do with Halacha level, separate is better. (to prove my point, how many very very high up private goyish schools have separate classes? a lot, exactly because of this.)
