-based off of

put into single

this was voted
on by the
people

-seems that
putting these kids

dont make them
perform much
better
academically, but
instead increase
stereotypes
against sexes
- also, kids
wondering why
they are put in
these schools in
the first place
-may confuse

on there sexuality
-after there
studies the
authors found
that the
difference and
grades went back

between the two
years (mainly
looked at math
and English).
-teachers seemed
to think single
sex school was

-more research
should be
done on single
sex schools,
before taking
action and
putting these
kids in schools

Does single sex

impact on
students from
poorer and
tougher
communities.

-based on a
study in middle
school at
Claremont
Academy in
Chicago
- boys and girls
separated
resulted in
higher test
scores

-teachers noted
that when the
students were
separated, the
boys and girls
were more
focused in class
on the schoo
work itself
- with the social
aspect out of the
equation, the
students focused
more and
increased there
grades
-some of the
students were
also asked about
the single sex
classrooms and
responded
positively saying
it helped them
concentrate more

g the

look more into
the variable of
single sex

itself
-according to
this article,
maybe in
more

communities
single sex
schools should
be
implemented
to help the
students have
a better future.

Does single sex


education have
any real
benefits, or
really that can
be proven?

-other factors
may benefit
students that
are outside of
single sex
education itself
to get better
grades

-main point in
this article is that
both sides of the
argument have ok
backing to it but
with so many
factors in the
study, it is hard to
come to a real

Do boys and
girls think
differently and
do they need to
be taught in
different ways?

African American
students in many
urban places have
been put into
single sex
classrooms to
help boost there
reading and
overall education.
-in doing this,
educators have
seen a rise in
education,
especially that in
the female
students
-teaching boys
and girls in
ways specific
to their gender
may benefit
them more then
there classes
together

-Foust
elementary
school separated
boys and girls
younger classes
and saw
tremendous
results in scores
-taught boys by
tending to their
strengths and
weaknesses, as
they did to girls

-in this case


the study
shows the
females again
tend to
succeed in an
same sex
school
environment,
and the boys
tend to be
back and forth
-this study
shows that
more schools
should
implement this
programs.
-this way of
teaching
specifically to
genders might
me a really
good idea
especially in
the younger
grades
-growing up,
boys and girls
certainly thing
differently so
this can be
very beneficial
if
implemented

-it is found in the

-this study in the

-they looked out
how different

-if putting in

this is a good
