Target Audience: General audience. Specifically educated people with an interest in educational processes and theories.

The long standing debate over the success of single sex schooling has again becoming current topic for debate throughout the United State's educational and legislative committees. The reemergence of this highly deliberated education model comes as a result of the Bush administration's action in removing the barriers which once prevented US public schools from segregating the sexes.

Today the debate over the validity of single sex education has been sanitised with the advice of so called 'educational experts' and the results from a number of scientific, yet somewhat empirical studies, on benefits of such an educational model. Yet, the creation of such a system was originally never intended to improve a student's academic success or contentment.

While society has been fighting to remove the debilitating barriers dividing the sexes it seems as if this old adversary has raised its head in the newfounded conservative push for educational segregation. Educational segregation is a system which trains and conditions students, from their earliest and most impressionable years, to hold true, values which years of social progress has fought diligently to overcome.

Only in recent times has the church softened its hard-line doctrine on coeducation. This is simply attributed to the pragmatic and financial considerations of the church administration. Today's economic environment has hastened the church to review its stance on sexual integration. As a direct result the Catholic Church has restructured half of its previously segregated schools to sustain future profitability.

Although it's granted that single sex learning environments may have the ability to improve the performance of certain 'at risk' or less socially developed students, logic and reasoning clearly dictate that segregation is by no means the panacea for our educational woes; and in fact is quite the opposite!
