This is news? We've known forever that single-sex classrooms mean less distraction and better learning outcomes. Duh.....

I'm surprised at the results though. I think boys would be far better off in a single sex school, simply because they are free to be taught and act like boys. More competition, less sit down, shut up and color.

It's my personal belief that school is geared toward girls. Especially grade school. If I were raising little boys today, I would look into a single sex school for them. Hopefully, it would cut out some of the male bashing that goes on in the schools today, mostly by the teachers.

Am I missing something or is the general theme of this piece focused on how well the GIRLS do, how it is a benefit for the GIRLS...

Oh, by the way....boys might do better too, but that's not what we care about.
