I’ve heard a lot of claims that gender-segregated classrooms are more effective based on a variety of theories. I’ve rarely seen actual science on the subject. Millard Fillmore’s Bathtub has a good roundup on the issue.

I don’t see anything strongly supporting gender segregation. Other forms of segregation may be appropriate. For instance, segregation into highly disciplined Swiss boarding schools.

(Sorry. Bad morning.)
