In the1990s, single-sex education gained interest over coeducation, and by the early 2000s, it had gained support from congress and the Bush administration. Since then single-sex education has benefitted many students, teachers, and parents.

Single-sex schooling has occurred throughout U.S history and is prevalent in countries such as Australia, Belgium, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and South Africa (Bigler & Signorella, 2011).

Should our school implement a single-sex teaching plan? I think we shouldn 't do this and just keep on doing things the way we’ve been running this school.
