This story talks about an investigation that a elementary school do to prove ho is better, girls or boys. Holly Garneau and Anna Lynne Gamble are convinced that segregating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders. The kids will be in a coed environment for homeroom, lunch, and recess, then divide up for four hours each day to learn their math, science, reading and social studies. Chadwell, a scientist, wanst to prove how girls and boys percieve the world. Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. Boys and girls also hear differently, said Chadwell. These differences can be accommodated in the classroom, Chadwell adds. “Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning.”
