Debate: Single-sex education

We'll begin the debates on Wednesday. We'll have one debate on Wednesday and then the other one on Thursday. If you're not going to be there, please let me know immediately so I can adjust the teams. You will have time in class on Tuesday to prepare with your group but you will probably need to get together outside of class as well.

Here are some articles that I think you will find useful, but you can do your own research as well.
