Summary "Since the 1990s, there has been a resurgence of interest in single-sex education across the United States, and many public schools have created all-boys and all-girls classes for students in grades K-12. The Separation Solution provides an in-depth analysis of controversies sparked by recent efforts to separate boys and girls at school.
