“We looked at 184 studies, representing the testing of 1.6 million students in grades K–12 from 21 nations, for outcomes related to science and mathematics performance, educational attitudes and aspirations, self-concept and gender stereotyping,” says Hyde. “From these, we selected 57 studies that corrected for factors like parental education and economics, which are known to benefit children’s school performance.”

The study, published in the online Psychological Bulletin Feb. 3, used an analytical technique called meta-analysis, which draws conclusions from multiple studies of an issue. “We are trying to shed some light by putting together studies that applied different methods to different populations,” says Hyde. “If you do this right, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.”

Hyde’s co-authors were Erin Pahlke, who was a postdoctoral fellow at UW–Madison and is now teaching at Whitman College in Washington State, and Carlie Allison, who was a graduate student in psychology.

According to one estimate, thousands of U.S. public schools offered single-sex academic classes during the 2009–10 school year.

“The claim that boys do better verbally in single-sex schooling, because they get squelched in a coed setting, did not hold up. And the claim has been made that girls will develop a better self-concept, but again there is no evidence for that.”

Do we need a plebescite on same sex schooling?

I prefer to stick with the old stereotypes thanks. They are simple and easy to remember.

I thought by “Single sex schools” they meant only once a day.

Because teaching students identified as female, nonbinary, or inhuman means that a school no longer is “to educate boys and young men”, and that it is no longer “open to the sons of parents of all religious denominations”, and that it does not provide for the “advancement of education of boys and young men”.

It argues the school’s council as the trustee of a charitable trust does not have the power to change the original purpose for establishing Newington College, which it says “was to educate boys and young men”. It also questions whether the move to become co-ed breaches the terms of the trust. The letter says that the college website shows “it is clear that the college was conceived as … open to the sons of parents of all religious denominations”. “The college upon its inception, was intended to be (and has been) a college in particular for the advancement of education of boys and young men,” it says. “Upon establishment of the college (and indeed the establishment of the charitable trust of which the council holds property), it was never contemplated that girls and young women would be educated by the college”.

Because unless something was contemplated, it can’t happen ¡

Seems to be a co-educational school.

Fair objection and we’re sorry, we hadn’t had time to go the full branch of linguistic concerned with meaning analysis of all threads so we just found the thread that seemed closest to fit.
