No? That surprises me. I'll ask my niece-teacher-to-be what she thinks.

niece-the-scientist-to-be partly chose to go to a woman's college for her ungergrad degree because of her field and in that field, as math, still a woman will get much more going on amongst other women. Now she's at Notre Dame for degree step #2, but I think it was a smart move for her undergrad.

I saw a news bit awhile back about a school in... I 'think' it was Oakland, it was urban, anyways... and they were offering the children a chance to be in same-sex classes and a lot were doing it and both boys and girls thriving in them. I don't recall mention of teachers but the one class shot segment of a boys class had a male teacher.

If not in the earliest years, or maybe in the later high school, but the tweeners years, I can see it making a lot of sense. at least for a portion.
