Last week we received word about a special event for incoming freshmen to be sponsored by the seniors.

7/15/2008 - SINGLE-SEX SCHOOLING
The comparative benefits of single-sex and coeducational schooling have been much debated over the past 50 years. The proponents of single-sex education argue that boys and girls have differing needs and that their styles of learning are different. They point to data demonstrating the comparative under-performance of both boys and girls in coed classrooms. Proponents of coeducation argue that mixed education is more in keeping with the mores of modern Western society, and that children from coed schools are better adjusted. Both contend that their own approach is truly
holistic.
