http://www.singlesexschools.org/evidence.html I found this site to be very easy to read, and it also shows a bunch of great facts. If you read the numbers under the heading "Percentage of Students Scoring Proficient on the FCAT", you will see they change drastically. Especially the boys numbers, they go up almost 50%. This is a huge change, but honestly I agree with the numbers because I know plenty of guys who would be able to focus more if there were no girls there. I'm sure if there was a survey with a question saying, "would you be able to focus more if there were no girls in your class?", I believe over 50% of guys would say yes.
I think school systems are just fine the way they are. There are certain schools who offer single sex education, and there are many others that are co-ed. It is the students and their families decision. Personally I would rather it be co-ed from a students point of view, or even for when I teach. I just feel it shows you responsibilty in a way, and you have to focus no matter what. You are around a diverse group of people and it is getting you ready for the real world I think, and I believe that is in a way what schooling is about.
Couldn't figure out to post videos. Computer isn't co-operating with me right now. I will paste some links on here.
