Are single sex classrooms a good idea?

  • I think it is an interesting concept. I went to a parochial school where there were more girls in my classes than boys. However, I never found boys to be a distraction to my school work. Even when I developed the inevitable crushes on the cute, popular boys, my school work did not suffer. But that is only my personal experience.

    I think anything that will inhance our children's educational system is worth at least a try!
  • I think that this is a great idea! This way, they can focus on what they need to do in class and not need to worry about anything else.
  • I am sure there are good and bad about this topic, but really....why would you want to seperate and teach them there is a difference between biys and girls? Each are equal and should be treated that way. We've already overcome the race issue in schools, are we beginning with gender now? Come on!

What do you think?
