Welcome! A blog, run by Jennifer Abell, Vice Chair of the Charles County Board of Education, involving topics and issues on education and children. Comments are not official communications of the Charles County School Board but are a personal effort to be more transparent. Both complimentary comments and constructive criticism are not only appreciated but encouraged. Student participation is also encouraged and therefore the use of proper language and decorum is requested at all times.
This report, found in the December issue of Queue, Inc, reviews the issues and data on single-sex education. The findings...according to the report, there is no evidence to support girls-only and boys-only schools and classes as a means to remedy a variety of educational problems. Have opposing information? Please share and let me here what you think.
The report is available here: Separate But Superior?

The National Association for Single Sex Public Education (NASSPE) web site is worth the time if you’re interested in this topic! It cautions against school districts experimenting with this; advocates are not selling this as some sort of “illusionary silver bullet.” The web site explains all this rather well, I think.
