Book Description
Although coeducation has been the norm within private and public schools since the 1970s, single-sex education has staged a comeback in recent years as a means of addressing the academic and social problems faced by some students. Single-sex education raises controversy on ideological grounds, and in 1996 the Supreme Court struck down the all-male admissions policy at the Virginia Military Institute in a decision that has cast a legal cloud over public initiatives. In this timely book, Rosemary Salomone offers a reasoned educational and legal argument supporting single-sex education as an alternative to coeducation, particularly in the case of disadvantaged minority students. Salomone examines the history of women’s education and exclusion, philosophical and psychological theories of sameness and difference, findings on educational achievement and performance, the research evidence on single-sex schooling, and the legal questions that have arisen. Correcting many of the current misconceptions about single-sex education, she argues that it is a viable option and that the road to gender equality should be paved with diverse educational opportunities for all students—regardless of race, class, or gender.

Book Description
There is a significant problem in our schools: too many boys are struggling. The list of things to concern teachers is long. Disappointing academic results, a lack of interest in studying, higher exclusion rates, increasing mental health issues, sexist attitudes, an inability to express emotions.... Traditional ideas about masculinity are having a negative impact, not only on males, but females too. In this ground-breaking book, Matt Pinkett and Mark Roberts argue that schools must rethink their efforts to get boys back on track. Boys Don’t Try? examines the research around key topics such as anxiety and achievement, behaviour and bullying, schoolwork and self-esteem. It encourages the reader to reflect on how they define masculinity and consider what we want for boys in our schools. Offering practical quick wins, as well as long-term strategies to help boys become happier and achieve greater academic success, the book: offers ways to avoid problematic behaviour by boys and tips to help teachers address poor behaviour when it happens highlights key areas of pastoral care that need to be recognised by schools exposes how popular approaches to "engaging" boys are actually misguided and damaging details how issues like disadvantage, relationships, violence, peer pressure, and pornography affect boys’ perceptions of masculinity and how teachers can challenge these. With an easy-to-navigate three-part structure for each chapter, setting out the stories, key research, and practical solutions, this is essential reading for all classroom teachers and school leaders who are keen to ensure male students enjoy the same success as girls.

Book Description
During the mid-twentieth century, most public schools were divided by gender where male and female students were taught in separate school buildings or classrooms. This was a common practice until the early 1970s. In the midst of the Second Wave of the American Feminist movement, there was a growing argument of a learning disparity between male and female students. The studies at the time claimed that female students were at a disadvantage and were underperforming compared to their male counterparts. To address the issue, Congress enacted the Title IX as part of the Education Act Amendments of 1972 which stated that there should be no exclusion of individuals on the basis of sex from federally funded educational programs or activities. The expectation for this portion of the law was to raise the performance level of female students to be comparable to male students. Throughout the 1980s through the early 2000s, more studies have been conducted contesting the research initially presented prior to the enactment of Title IX, arguing that some male and female students may excel better in a single-sex environment. As part of its No Child Left Behind educational reform initiative in 2001, Title IX was revised to make funding available to support single-sex public education programs. The new regulation has drawn both support and criticism from proponents and opponents of single-sex education. For Black students, the research appears one sided. While there are numerous studies discussing the effect of single-sex educational environments for Black boys, there are few studies addressing the same subject for Black girls. The following research proposal will explore the effects of single-sex education for Black female students. The study will be based in Baltimore, Maryland where the oldest all-female public high school, Western Senior High School, is located. The school has a majority Black population of 86%. The methodological approach will be mixed methods, comparing the outcomes of the Black female students at Western to other Black female students in coeducational school environments following a similar curriculum. The future results will determine if Black interest groups, particularly those supporting Black women and girls, should add to their agenda the revision of Title IX to allocate more funding specifically for single-sex public schools when advocating for the education of Black girls.

Book Description
From imaginary numbers to the fourth dimension and beyond, mathematics has always been about imagining things that seem impossible at first glance. In x+y, Eugenia Cheng draws on the insights of higher-dimensional mathematics to reveal a transformative new way of talking about the patriarchy, mansplaining and sexism: a way that empowers all of us to make the world a better place. Using precise mathematical reasoning to uncover everything from the sexist assumptions that make society a harder place for women to live to the limitations of science and statistics in helping us understand the link between gender and society, Cheng's analysis replaces confusion with clarity, brings original thinking to well worn arguments - and provides a radical, illuminating and liberating new way of thinking about the world and women's place in it.
