Separate classrooms for boys and girls more popular in US

Story here. Excerpt:
"Students in single-sex classrooms tend to concentrate on their lessons better, the National Association for Single Sex Public Education claims. Proponents say that this is in part because the lessons can zero in on different interests and developmental levels between boys and girls of the same age.
Educators have long known of differences in learning methods between boys and girls, but now many public schools in the US are making the move to educate their children separately.
Studies show that American boys concentrate less, have more problems with reading and are overall weaker students than girls, leading more boys to fail than their female counterparts."
"overall weaker"?

makes too much sense
aclu threatening a law suit. talk about wasted tax payers money. they sure are quick to dance to the feminist tune. obvious long time dancing partners.
kim gandy lecturing about how this discriminates. that's funny. not as long as all things are equal ole girrrlll. common sense and logic are not her strong points.
IMHo sounds like the house of cards (jokers) is falling. trying to hold boys back and making it sound like it's for the best. let's let the stat's fall where they may ms gandy, w/o any help from the affirmative action = equality crowd. feminists telling us what's best for the children. makes sense in BIZARRO world. maybe that's where she really lives.
this is a no brainer - pun intended.
