Uh oh…they better hope the feminists don’t get wind of this…
A national consortium of girls schools bands together to launch online courses aimed at girls, according to The Washington Post. The group includes the exclusive Holton-Arms school in Washington.
“There’s been a lot of research done on how girls learn differently with technology than boys,” said Brad Rathgeber, Holton-Arms’s director of technology. “Part of this is a little bit of theory that we’re trying to put in practice to see if it really does play out.”
What Brad is about to discover is the national feminist groups dislike single-sex education and they especially dislike the notion that boys and girls learn in different ways. The premise of gender learning differences is behind the launch of hundreds of public single sex schools and classes over the last several years. (Although most of those experiments are launched to buck up flagging boys, my anecdotal read on the results to date is that girls are benefiting more than boys).
