From Alabama to Wisconsin, schools are experimenting with the separation of boys and girls in the classroom. It's in our nature, from preschool to adulthood, to prefer to do some things with members of our own gender. For some kids, particularly in middle school when hormones begin raging, academics can get a little lost in the mixed-classroom shuffle. Researchers have found that on average, girls attending all-girls schools improve in math and science, and boys do better in reading and writing at all-boys schools.

Can boys and girls be separate but equal? I think so, but I'm still open to discussion on the issue. One problem I've seen with separating boys and girls is that the boys can become more destructive. This is the case in the dorms at UCSB when I was in undergrad. But that is hardly the most important consideration on the issue of education. What do you think? I do believe in seperate but equal restrooms for males & females. But some, mostly feminists and university elites, even disagree with that idea.
One thing that I can say confidently is that this is just a little evidence to support what we’ve always know to be obvious and true. Males and females are different.
