Well the Carmel Indiana school district is trying something new this year. In one of their schools they are separating boys and girls. Girls start at 7 a.m and Boys start at 8 a.m. Their classes are on different floors. Teachers have already said that the concentration level is higher, but too soon to tell if it is working or not.
I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand if it improves test scores and they actually get educated instead of dropping out when they turn 16 then good. But I remember school as being a place where you learn to socialize and build friendships. Boarding schools are segregated and they seem to work. As I hear more on how this is working I will post it.
