Some public high schools have started to offer single-sex education, meaning that boys and girls are taught separately in classes such as chemistry and mathematics. Those in favor believe that, as long as the educational opportunities are equal, separation of the sexes is the best method because there are fewer distractions. They argue that, inseparated classes, students are less likely to act out gender stereotypes. Those opposed reply that separate is never equal. They believe that single-sex education is a recipe for gender discrimination.

In your opinion, should public high schools offer single-sex education?
