Single-Sex Education: Fix or Folly?

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/kunm/local-kunm-870919.mp3

In the last eight years the number of U.S. public schools offering all-boys or all-girls classes has skyrocketed from about 11 to well over 500. So far, very few of those are in New Mexico. Supporters say, with boys falling behind, single sex education is an issue of social justice. Others say it's nothing short of illegal.
