Student Reflections Josh Williams,12, said, "It's good because
when classes are mixed boys try to flirt with girls and that messes up the class and disturbs the classroom.”
“I think they did it for a good reason because it’s hard to function with boys in class,” 12-year-old Genesia Harvey said.

Significance of the Study My research is important because as an
educator I want to find the best way to educate my students.
This research would be important for our students, faculty and parents.
This study will benefit our educational system as a whole, as well as, our students.

Potential Compromises Many parents and schools are worried about
the social aspects of a single sex classroom. Some different options are:
• Single sex classes for only core subjects• Co-ed P.E., lunch and other electives• Keep co-ed field trips and assemblies

Conclusion Single sex classrooms are becoming more
popular today due to:• Increased test scores• Better behavior • Higher self-esteem• Better classroom management
