A different view

Pretty related to one of my most-recent posts about women in STEM fields...the opposite problem:

I especially enjoy this idea:

"And more than 500 public schools use single-sex classrooms to teach science, math and language arts, while other classes are gender-integrated. The results have been improvements for girls in math and science and boys in terms of behavior and core classes."

That sounds like a neat idea!  Let's do that.  I was much more comfortable my first year of college when they formed us into gender-specific groups in physics class than I would have been had they thrown us in with the boys first thing.  And we were integrated eventually.  I think it gave the girls more confidence.  As it probably does for boys in gender-specific language classes.
