So I decided to read an article in The Austin Chronicle by Richard Whittaker where he explains how for next fall the Austin Independent School District will be opening two single sex schools. Girls will go to one school and boys to a different one. Girls will be going to Pearce Middle School, while boys will go to Garcia Middle School. I found this article very interesting to read and I believe some of you all will too. It says how this idea will bring no gain to education and plus how the community does not support single-sex schools. There are very different opinions, Janet Shibley Hyde agrees with this by saying its helps students achieve more and have more academic interest. Is going to be a big change for students next year, a lot of things are going to change for them. I mean do you imagine going to school of all girl or all boys?
