Well, Golly! Everything Old Is New Again

Flash!! Stop the presses--or is that computers? We have incoming news of startling import. . . [drum roll, please]:

Professional educators have discovered single-sex education!

What, you say. How can that be?

Apparently, when they have tried everything else that doesn't work, they occasionally go back into the dim, dark recesses of the past and discover something that did! Amazing.

So we are treated to headlines such as "Federal Rules Back Single-Sex Public Education" in the New York Times and to an editorial on "Single-Sex Education" in the Washington Times, and, to top it all off, a survey reported by the SC Department of Education "Students say single-gender classrooms boost self-confidence, ability to succeed"

Well, duh.
