This is one of the best gender-based books I have ever picked up. It is also helpful when you have a mixed gender class.

It is good to have this balanced approach to considering the value of single-sex classrooms as the option gains popular awareness and possible acceptance as a panacea for problems we now face in our schools.

I found the presentation of theory and research to be fair and reasoned. I think the content is well presented for easy understanding and application, both for those entering or enlarging the alternative structure of classroom or school and those just now beginning consideration of the option.

The substantial involvement of practicing professionals from the Gurian Institute helped me approach the subject with confidence and knowledge that suggestions were reality-based and results-oriented.

As a principal who instituted single sex classrooms in my school this book is an absolute must. If only it was published earlier, I would have had the guidance and insights needed. This is the perfect companion for many of the other publications of Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens. I have added this to my professional library and hope you will as well.
