Laird Harrison, in "A Classroom in Which You Can Speak Your Mind," believes schools should separate boys and girls. Laird Harrison said that even though a single-sex education might not be an optimum decision to help "every distracted student," it is considered a good solution for some. Harrison gives an example of a girl's classroom which was distracted by a boy who entered into the classroom.
