Single-Gender Classrooms A Growing Trend

The Washington Times (9/2, Wolfgang) reports that "single-gender classrooms within coed schools have exploded in number over the past decade, rising from about 50 in 2003 to more than 400 this year," with South Carolina having the greatest number, "more than 100 districts offering all-boy and all-girl classes." And, "schools that have successfully implemented same-sex classes often report more attentive students and fewer disruptions as well as a more lively back-and-forth between teachers and their students."
