I am very troubled by this movement toward public single-sex schools, especially since it is justified with trash science. The real data show much more similarity than difference between boys and girls, as your daughter and now policewoman Kimberly Munley (who took out the Fort Hood shooter)have proven.

Please, PLEASE keep me updated on this situation and may I ask permission to cross these articles?

All that hogwash about female inferiority is just that–hogwash. Look at our military, where females are doing the same jobs as males.

Outstripping the garbage psychobabble about boys and math, etc., the difference is not gender, but verbal skills vs. mathematical skills. Some people have both, I am male but I know more than one female that can run rings around me in math–differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, what have you.

Single-gender classes deprive children of developing social skills in dealing with the opposite sex and make that sex into an unknown area.

The problem is that the school in question is a PUBLIC school, funded by tax payer dollars and supposedly run by elected officials. A principal should never be allowed to make such drastic changes on his/her own.

The mere segregation by sex is no big deal in and of itself, in my opinion, just not in its context in this particular instance.

I think my daughter’s school district was trying to do the exact same thing. At the end of last school year they sent a questionnaire out asking if we would be interested in our child being segregated by gender. I of course put no and haven’t heard anything else about it.

Don’t let this little tyrant speak for everyone in the district. Start calling your state senators and congress and don’t give up. If they don’t do anything keep calling and bugging them. Also give complaints to the superintendent and write your local papers. Get the community involved in anyway that you can.

Hang in there and God bless.

It seems that a lot of folk are for sure interested in the story. I’ve been informed that the Fox News Network is looking at the story.

The ACLU has been officially informed. There are a few cases being litigated now elsewhere in the Country. So far, to the best of my knowledge, of the cases completed this insane notion has been shot down at every turn. Let’s hope that the ACLU, (gag) picks up this ball and runs with it.

Keep the fight alive! Send the link, or the entire story, to everyone you know. Let’s FIGHT!

Bull, out!

It is very true that men and women think & learn differently. It is also true that different races think & learn differently. Both of those statements are in general. Within the same race and sex you can have many different types of learning styles as well.

That being said, it is very wrong to separate people based on any of these reasons. At the very least it will rob the students of the social skills needed to excel at just about anything in “the real world”

Just as disturbing is the students have no rights statement. Of course there are some restrictions on privacy rights and such (locker searches et al) depending on the school – but to say that students have “no rights” is absurd. What’s next – Torture?

It would seem that this type of sex segregation would make Muslims happy for sure – the rest of the people, not so much.

Keep up the fight my friend, go down swinging and keep us informed.

Bias can go two ways. Past research has shown that even though female teachers tended to make excuses for boys, they usually pushed them to excel evidencing a maternal bias toward the boys. At the same time, these same (majority) of female teachers were also allowing excuses for girls while dumbing down their level of expectations for the girls. This often occurs in math and the sciences.

No one is denying the differences in the sexes — “viva la deference.” But separating the sexes in regard to fundamental education in middle school and secondary schools is at best questionable. If educators would focus on the fundamental building blocks of education, verses the adding extraneous items that detract from the fundamental education, our student nationally would not have over a 50% remediation rate in English and math. Education is failing the students, parents and society.

I also agree with the Mad Irishman who said, “Please visit http://letsgetthisright.com This is exactly the type of thing our conservative movement will help with.” Ask yourself, which group, conservatives or liberals, are destroying or “wasting” the valuable education time that is allotted for the education of America’s children.

Have more to say but the grandson wants to type for a while
