Feminists

The amount of experience with single sex classrooms is not adequate to use it as a template for all education everywhere. At a minimum, adequate time to develop best practices and teach educators about them is required.

However, we do have several A-B trials that suggest it works, a couple of competing theories as to why it works, and a lot of anecdotal evidence that it does no harm.

This, against a backdrop of a clear problem with education generally that market-based solutions like high stakes testing and NCLB have completely failed to solve, indicate to me that it's an idea that deserves a shot.

The "pseudoscience" article referenced ONLY the work of the authors, and then fixated on a critique of Sax's brain-biology causative theory. They didn't study single sex classrooms AT ALL to reach their conclusions. Their entire body of study were very small samples of pre-k students in a co-ed classroom and equally small samples of grownups.

I think the ACLU has this one wrong. The current way we do it places "artificial constraints on individuals’ opportunity."
