Single-Sex Education: Parameters Too Narrow

摘要

In their education forum"the pseudo-science of single-sex schooling" (23 September, p. 1706), D. F. Halpern et al. evaluate school success solely by standardized test scores. They make no attempt to do or cite research that measures parameters such as self-confidence, self-reliance, and leadership qualities. These are the attributes that parents look to single-sex schooling to foster in their children.
