I think it's time to change the nature of the school dynamic. I don't think that it's prudent to entirely segregate populations, but I do think that we would be better served by putting students of the same learning styles in a classroom together with a teacher that shows success in teaching in that particular style.
basic learning styles being:
Quote:
* Auditory learning occurs through hearing the spoken word.
* Kinesthetic learning occurs through doing and interacting.
* Visual learning occurs through looking at images, mindmaps, demonstrations and body language.

There are certainly differences among these general styles, but I think that an exposure to a variety of difference under these general classes might expose students to new methodologies.
I hesitate to embrace a full separation because the young men and women need the experience of interacting with one another in a social environment and a workplace type environment to adjust to the outside world when they're done with school. Perhaps if it were done where boys and girls were in different wings of the same facility with some shared activities between them might do.
