I also sit with DLR, but I’ve been a homeschooling and unschooling advocate for 20 years now. Mass schooling is more or less guaranteed to fail almost anyone not median on the bell curve, or median to a track.

DLR,

I would still be in favor of gender segregation. A major issue is that smart boys are more easily distracted — by girls, sports, blah blah — than smart girls.

The problem isn't gender; it's intelligence. Neither smart boys nor smart girls belong in dumbed-down classes doing busy work.

I’ve said both what Bob Sykes and Fred Reed says before as well. Mostly gender separate schooling for boys and girls through undergrad appears to be the correct model.

Also possible is scoring diligence anyway — on something where diligence has substance. Long chains of logic, for example; every step must be just right.

Bob Sykes, Fred Reed agrees with your sentiment in his article:

“Put them in a male-only university, with a male-only professoriate, and teach them history, the sciences, literature, mathematics, philosophy, and languages. Let them engage in athletics as they choose. Emphasize reasoning over propaganda. Problem solved.”

This should be extended to undergraduate colleges. Women have wrecked the liberal arts to the point that men will not pursue them. The humanities have degenerated into girls’ finishing schools à la the Nineteenth Century.
