M y nephew remarked recently that in his GCSE computer science class there was just one girl among 29 boys. When I asked him why he thought that was, he replied that he saw nothing unusual — in his opinion computer science was simply a subject "for boys". This, and a recent visit to a London co-educational and a girls' school on the same day, showed me that many of my assumptions about what was good for girls had been utterly wrong. Far from being places of equal opportunity and preparation for the real world, even the best co-educational schools do not celebrate girls' achievements.

Single-sex classrooms, long discouraged under Title IX, the federal law that prohibits gender discrimination in education, have been gaining prominence in recent years, especially in urban charter schools.
