The Issue
What are the advantages, if any, of single sex education? Is single sex education better than co-education? What does available research have to say about the subject?
Background
The conventional thinking thirty years ago was that coeducation would break down gender stereotypes. That thinking turned out to be flawed. Boys in coeducational settings are less likely to take courses in the arts or tackle advanced academic subjects simply to avoid being typecast as a nerd. Similarly girls avoid the sciences and technology subjects because they don't want to appear to be tomboys. Private single sex schools are flourishing once again because parents have realized that learning is probably more important than being properly socialized.
