Where the boys aren't: Single-sex schooling is gaining traction.

Is it time for single-sex education?
The long-simmering debate over single-sex versus co-ed schooling is heating up again. A rural Georgia school district is set to become the first school district in the nation to go entirely single-sex, with boys and girls in separate classrooms -- a response to years of poor test scores, soaring dropout rates and high numbers of teen pregnancies.
The argument is that boys and girls learn differently, so they should have different classroom settings. But the idea runs counter to long-cherished notions of equality and non-discrimination.
Should public schools be free to segregate by sex? Would boys and girls benefit? Or are the benefits negligible?

Sex education is needed for
Submitted on April 14th, 2009 by Cason GSex education is needed for student’s awareness! This is not bad if taught well and for a good purpose. Teens need proper education with this regards because as we can see there are really lots of teens engaging to immoral discourses, which is a factor ruining their future!! Many people would line up for payday loans to get Mondial (World Cup) tickets, as soccer is the world's most popular sport. Right now, other countries are getting their bids in line to host the next one, in 2014, and Henry Kissinger is among those trying to get the U.S. bid a top seed, although Nixon wasn't aware of it. Doubtless that many would gladly get short-term loans to go to the World Cup.

more than one side to the story
Submitted on March 9th, 2008 by AnonymousWhat I've read is that students in single-sex schools are better able to focus in their classes, and do better grade-wise. I don't think they're handicapped socially. Sure, it's not a cure-all idea, there aren't any of those anyway. School will continue to be a torturous experience for some, no matter what we do.
Granted, the parents need to be "fixed", that would help tremendously...but I've seen certain teachers do great things without benefit of parental support. I think some teachers need to look beyond the roadblocks and see the possibilities in their students.
Worst Idea Ever
Submitted on March 8th, 2008 by AnonymousThere are many different learning styles not just if you're a girl you learn this way and if you're a boy you learn this way. This is a step backwards for women being equal to men. The court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional and not truly equal. Why does this apply to race but not gender. Also, what about the boys who like to hang out with girls more than boys and vice versa. Are we to subject them to a life at school where they have few, if any, friends which inevitably leads to depression and even suicide for some of these teens. Also, I believe that school should not just be hard but should also be fun, a place where you learn but also a place where you develop social skills and discover a love of learning. Honestly, have you ever been in an environment where the subject is hard and not at all fun? Does that foster a love of the subject. Certainly not. Single-sex education in a step back in both education techniques and gender equality.
It's Not As Bad as You Think
Submitted on March 8th, 2008 by AnonymousSingle sex education is just another way of educating our youth. We have many different ways of educating: home-schooling; private schooling, public schooling, religious, non-religious. Single gender is another way with it's own sets of advantages and disadvantages.
What maybe right for one child, may not be right for another. It depends on the individual and what the parents believe would be best for the child.
SS schools
Submitted on March 8th, 2008 by Anonymous...is a great idea. A middle school in V.V. CA, near where I live, did it and is getting much better behavior out of boys who aren't trying to impress girls and participation out of girls who don't have to be embarrassed for being smart or not as smart.

Other genders?
Submitted on February 28th, 2008 by anonymousSomething that people also seem to be ignoring is that not everyone fits under the two gender system. There are plenty of people who may appear female, but identify as male or vise versa. If you split schools into two genders than you throw a lot of people into very crappy situations. Also, if the argument, as someone suggested, is that having mixed gender classes distracts people then you need to account for the homosexual crowd. It doesn't make sense to have people fill out a questionnaire on their sex and sexuality before going to school.
Also saying that "boys and girls learn differently, so they should have different classroom settings" is poor logic because there are a lot of different learning styles, some people learn best in a lecture environment and some people learn best by reading. If there were enough teachers in the world then maybe splitting classes that thin so that each style had their own class might make sense. Still it is important to note that a lot of learning in school, especially K-12, is social or achieved through social means.
Having attended both an
Submitted on February 28th, 2008 by AnonymousHaving attended both an single sex and a co-ed high school I can say without a doubt that single sex education provides an environment far more conducive to learning.
The single sex environment removes several barriers to learning and participation. It also allows teachers to deal with disciplinary situations with respect and without the same levels of shame or bravado that comes out in a co-ed situation. Don't worry, there is plenty of time for socialization after school, where it belongs.
It was astonishing to me to arrive in a co-ed environment, but the same caliber school, and see how much energy is wasted dealing with teenagers being teenagers instead of students. So much time was wasted dealing with flirting, talking, showing off that the level of focus on learning was drastically lower.
School isn't supposed to be fun, it's supposed to be hard. You should be challenged by learning. Having single sex classes is not going to retard anyones social development.
This issue is framed poorly
Submitted on February 28th, 2008 by dust4ngel"Should 'public schools be free' to segregate by sex?"
is the author seriously trying to position this as a question of freedom for schools? what about the freedom of the students to live and learn in a normal human environment? this smells more like a social policy in disguise than anything done in the name of education.
Here's one boy against single sex education
Submitted on February 27th, 2008 by Chuck_JohnsonI, for one, loved the company of young women throughout high school. Though I was often out of nearly every girls league, I still learned as much from them -- if not more -- than I did from my fellow boys.
A classroom that has only boys is limited indeed.
That said, you should be able to get vouchers to get your kids out of whatever school you dislike and go straight to go education 101.
Pregnancies
Submitted on February 27th, 2008 by JoelHi Sal:
While I'll agree that girls probably aren't getting pregnant at school, I'll take mild issue with this:
If that's what the girls need, then that's certainly what the boys need, too. It takes two to tango, but often, it's only the girls that bear the consequences.
Feminists should love this!
Submitted on February 27th, 2008 by Sal AciousAfter years of telling us that there is no difference between men and women, here comes the special treatment.
And are you telling me that the girls were getting pregnant at school? That seems to be the logic here, which is ridiculous. These girls are getting pregnant on their own time, not in the middle of math class. So how does this fix the problem. Girls and boys will still hang out at the mall after school.
What these girls need are parents that pay attention to what they are doing in their spare time. Until you fix the parents, which admittedly might never happen, you will never fix the problem here.
