I don't agree with it- so far there aren't any hard figures on whether or not it actually improves student success. Part of a school's job is socialization, and I feel that if students are segregated they will not learn a vital part of socialization.

Plus, I think there is always the risk of "separate but equal"...but not really.

What do you think?
Stupid,

I do remember the day in junior high when they girls were mysteriously separated from the guys....


The girls would come back to the class pale and tight lipped...

It wasn't until later I found out why!
