I guess I don't understand offering special classes for seperate sex education. For example the physics class mentioned for boys in the article.

I can see where seperating the sexes completely might help with grades, due to girls or guys not busy flirting with the opposite sex.

Seems reasonable. Many of the "advances" in edjumacation in the last 40 years

or so are being thought again in the Yook. Of course, these "New Ideas" are all

*new*. Oh yes. Perhaps *history* will be taught again!

I saw a show the other night, they stated that womens brains generally are smaller than mens.

Only because women tend to be smaller than men though. Women also use both halves of their brains to communicate while men only use one half. When two seperate words were audible through each side of headphones women could put the two words together and repeat them. Men couldnt. Two words apparently put us into overload mode.

This has been known for ages!

Yes.... there's also the fact that we are rumoured to use only a small percentage

of our brain's capacity during our lifetimes - so the old "brains smaller=less savvy"

won't rub.

It perhaps avoids positive feedback, and consequent increase in sound power

level from the emitter?
