WHAT REVOLUTION? (via mc):

Separate classes for boys, girls OK'd (ASSOCIATED PRESS, October 24, 2006)

The Bush administration is giving public schools wider latitude to teach boys and girls separately in what is considered the biggest change to coed classrooms in more than three decades.

After a two-year wait, the Education Department issued final rules today detailing how it will enforce the Title IX landmark anti-discrimination law. Under the change taking effect Nov. 24, local school leaders will have discretion to create same-sex classes for subjects such as math, a grade level or even an entire school.

"Some students may learn better in single-sex education environments," Education Secretary Margaret Spellings said. "These final regulations permit communities to establish single-sex schools and classes as another means of meeting the needs of students."
