    Journal Prompt - May 23



    There has been a lot of discussion lately about the benefit of having single gender classrooms (boys in one room and girls in another). Statistics show that each gender retains more information and in a shorter amount of time when being taught in separate classrooms. How do you feel about this? Would you like to be in a class with all girls or all boys? Why or why not? Write an essay stating your opinion and why you feel your opinion is the way to go!
