Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/Debunking the single-sex ed cranks/reply (10)

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.
