Separate Classrooms?Watch the program

Should boys and girls be taught differently?
Some say separating children by gender allows both boys and girls to learn more and that it's no different than separating children by age. Others, however, say it's the equivalent of racial segregation and is therefore unconstitutional.

Meet some of the kids, boys and girls at Bailey Bridge Middle School in Midlothian, Virginia. Find out what happened when a computer glitch in the fall led to single sex classes. The school year's almost over, and the results are coming in.



Produced by Tira Grey

Original Airdate: May 19, 2003
