Single Sex Schools

Education frank h writes "This CNN story is on how single-sex schools are gaining popularity nationwide. It's among the few articles I've seen that highlights the advantages to boys of single sex schools; most highlight the advantages to girls. Perhaps this plays to the boys' advantage because it seems that the people who need to be convinced are feminist groups like the AAUW. Also, the article mentions the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, an organization perhaps we ought to look into supporting. Anyway, I'd like to all states REQUIRE that single sex classrooms (not necessarily whole single sex schools) be offered in public education, as it offers some tremendous advantages for BOTH boys AND girls. The men's movement, as a community of organizations ought to get behind this initiative in a big way. It may well be the "silver bullet" in solving the education gap between boys and girls."

I had the extreme pleasure of attending an all male Catholic School taught by the Jesuits in the seventies, before the socialists took over. The degree of excellence demanded was so high that several years later, in college, I was shaking my head and muttering "Jeez, I did this sophmore year in High School..."

I even submitted a few papers that were essentially the same as ones I submitted in High School, and recieved very high marks.

I'm very thankful to the good brothers who taught me how to think, think critically, and question so-called pop wisdom; to demand accuracy in the use of language, and to apply logic in thought, and rhetoric (In the classical sense) to discourse. It will be a happy day for all when such schools return to their rightful place as leaders in education and the building of educated, achieving men of character.

And if the pheminazis want to control the all-girl's schools; well, it's their loss.

See that's the thing. They're crying about the notion that "separate but equal" is never really equal, and they're probably right. What they'd rather have is boys in the same classroom with girls where they can stifle the education of boys by subjecting them to methods that are suboptimized for boys while optimized for girls. Separate the genders by using single sex classrooms (not single sex schools), use the same tests, the same lesson plans (but different methods of delivery) and even the same teachers. The thing the feminists are afraid of is that they might find that boys outperform girls in EVERY subject! Can't have that, now can we?

"

they are probably also afraid we would do to them what they have done to boys and develop "let's face it, boys are smarter" T-shirts. what they do not realize is that most of us are not so petty.

Let me start by saying that the following comments are based on my oppinion and observation, alone.
That said,
IMO, the sub-education of boys is an essential part of the Feminist "plan".
UN-educated boys will grow up to be un-educated MEN. Conversely, WELL EDUCATED girls will grow up to be WELL EDUCATED WOMEN. Follow me so far?
ALL jobs of importance and POWER reqire better than average, to superb educational skills.
If as many Men as possible are kept "ignorant" and as many Women as possible are made "well
skilled", WHAT then, do you think would happen?
This would LOGICALY tip the "balace of power" DRASTICALY, if not TOATALY in favor of WOMEN.
Thus we would see the Feminist"GYNOTOPEA" that the rad-fems have been striveing for.
If the balance of education is not equalized, THIS is exactly what will occur.
COMPLETE female DOMINATION over all western societys.
It's rather simple when you think about it.
As an American Indian, I have seen this scenerio played out before. On MY OWN PEOPLE. A people kept ignorant are quite easy to SUBJEGATE.

I am glad this single-sex school thing may be revived, It is needed. For BOY'S sakes!
But the above scenerio I illustrated, IMO will be demonstrated by Feminists, to oppose single-sex schools. Not for GIRLS, But single-sex schools for BOYS.
Remember, Only a few years ago, The Feminazis were shrieking in protest that there were single-gender schools for boys, at all. Yet at the same time were DEMANDING single-gender schools for GIRLS!
Accross the U.S. I believe there are around 400 All-female schools. There are ZERO all boys schools. at least where colleges are concerned.

Hmmm, I was just thinking.
When Indians were "subjegated" we were all put on "Indian reservations".
If the Feminists were to ever sucseed, I wonder if all MEN will be forced onto "Male reservations"?

I spent a littel time one night postulating just this. What I came up with is that there are enough women who like and respect men such that what's likely to happen is that there will be cities, populated and ruled by women and men who don't mind being enslaved (like Joe Biden), and there will be the hinterlands, populated with men who like being men, and the women who like them. If you saw the movie "Demolition Man" with Stallone and Snipes, you have the idea. Eventually, the technology that supports the oppression will fair, and things will return to normal, but not until a LOT of lives have been ruined or otherwise degraded.

Frank.
Of course, while my illustation of "Feminist utopia" is admittably a bit over the top, I share your view that things will reach a certain point and then (hopefully) balance out.
But like you say, ALOT of people's lives will lay in ruins before then.
ALOT of people's lives are in ruin now, MUCH of it do to the "feminization" of western cultures.
While the Marx-fems have made great strides in there agenda, More and more, we are seeing their out and out LIES being challenged.
Hitler fell, Musilini fell, Marx fell, General Custer fell, and, eventually, the feminists and their ilk will do the SAME! There are many of us who will see to that.
