Social Context in the Media Assignment

I chose to explore the controversy over single-sex education in the media. I found two articles that frame the issue in different ways:

Keeping the boys away from the girls; Schools try to close an achievement gap with single-sex classes

Same-sex schools plan comes under fire; Women's, civil rights groups at odds with administration


The rest of the blog is dedicated to analyzing how the articles frame the issue of single-sex classrooms. Enjoy!

Please use the videos, both ABC's news segment and the Learning Matters short film, to establish a context for the controversy. The Learning Matters video covers the beginning of public schools offering single-sex education options, and the ABC news segment shows several perspectives on the issue.
