Kansas City Star discusses
same-sex education.
All the fourth-graders in Jennifer Bowar’s class Tuesday at Banneker Elementary School were girls.
Down the hall, Terry Grimes’ class was all boys.
The girls were working better than ever in math in small groups while exhausting Bowar’s supply of pink highlighters. The boys were tracking the Chiefs’ road trips as they studied geography.
Under new regulations announced Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Education, public school districts nationwide will find it easier to offer same-sex classes.
