Edit: Single-Sex Classes Promising

Breaking news: boys and girls are different. Tell your friends and neighbors. Of course we all know about anatomical differences. But there are other differences, including the way in which they learn most effectively. Call these “stereotypes” if you wish, but whatever label you choose, there’s no getting around the fact that, generally speaking, what’s most effective for girls won’t always be most effective for boys. That’s the theory behind a renewed interest in single-sex education, a movement which has gained momentum in the United States in recent years. There were only about a dozen gender-separated schools in 2002 and more than 500 today. Idaho only has one such school — Middleton Heights Elementary. Parents have the choice of enrolling their kids in single-sex classes or can opt out /Idaho Press Tribune (Nampa) Editorial Board. More here.

Question: If you had the chance, would you enroll your children in single-gender public schools?
