@ TheOwl,
I dont know where you are but a friend of mine was telling me about some of his high school class. They argued that they were making $5000 and up per week distributing drugs or delivering from the supplier to his distributors so why should they study hard to get a good job making maybe $20 an hour if they were very lucky. Hard to argue with that , but 5 of his students died in the senior year. A couple shootings and a few OD.
The idea of segregating sexes is that in a mixed class the girls will defer to the boys and the boys wont answer because they dont want to be wrong in front of the girls. Split them up and they dont worry about image so much. Generally girls are better at language skills , and boys better at spacial relationships.
