I always believed that I received a great education attending co-ed public schools for grades K-12. But the times, they are a changin'

So it is with some regret that I find myself now in agreement with you. It is crystal clear from this article that boys now need their own classrooms. For some reason I find this rather amusing as well, since it was long claimed that girls learned more in their own schools, where they weren't subject to "intimidation" from the boys.

It is all a very sad commentary on the state of public education. Too bad the teachers union is so powerful, or we would have vouchers for everyone.

I got a great public education many years ago, and my kids were in a good public school for 3 years.

Last year, my daughter had to go to a new school because our district closed their old good school. The new school was horrible. Unbelievably bad. Academically poor, and it had lots of kids with behavior problems. It was awful. Anyway, we're putting them in a small private school next year. It's going to cost a ton of money, but I hope it will be worth it. If not, I'll be homeschooling.
