Debunking the single-sex ed cranks

Jump to navigation Jump to search

I lived for a while in Australia and taught high school maths. The technical high schools were all single sex and they tried single sex classes in some of the sciences in the regular high schools. The girls seemed to do better in the girls only classes but it seemed a social thing where they did not want to compete against the boys. The boys also seemed to ask more questions when no girls were present, I suppose they didnt want to look stupid in front of the girls.

I have heard some arguments made on that basis. I don't know the full extent of the research there -- I can tell you, however, that the arguments based on neuro-woo are obviously false.
