Not Just the Cake is a Lie...

This article obviously hits home with me being a catholic school dropout. You mean to say that my single-sex education of two years did nothing more than a coed education would have done? Sarah Sparks basically puts single-sex education on blast in this article. Studies are popping up showing that if a school is coed or not does nothing for a child's education. In fact it increases sexism in children. I have to say I do agree with that. Women are put on a pedestal at B.C. High, and I don't mean the big stool in the kitchen. I mean when a girl is at that school boys see a light from the heavens and hear an angelic chorus of of Beethoven's 9th symphony around her. However at Hanover girls are seen more as equals than a gift from God. It also plays into social lives as well. A B.C. High/NDA get together is a sad site to see. We just don't know how to act around each other which leads to many awkward silences.

The author use quotes from all sorts of doctors that are authorities in their positions. She does not let her own bias get into the article. She simply reports the facts and lets the reader make his or her own conclusions. She does let you know that her facts are credible though. She names a couple expert authors that contributed to a book that Sparks is basing her article off of.
