Children learn better when the attentions are paid to education. These single sex and such issues are issues that divert away from the entire point of education. You give a child the tools. They will learn. There are far too many petty issues allowed in our schooling. Give these kids the right to strive as best they can. Give these kids the chances they can chose. Focus on teaching the necessity. Leave it up to them to expand they're minds in they're ways of direction. They will set they're individual limits.
