I think the best situation would be to mostly separate boys and girls in classes. We could then do things for boys that are generally better for boys and do things for girls that are generally better for girls. There probably should be co-ed schools so boys and girls can still socialize during lunch and other breaks, just not during classes.

But some girls are like boys, and some boys are like girls in this regard. Gender differences fall on a spectrum.

No matter what we do some people will not have an ideal education. I think this will maximize the education that works for the most kids. The only way we can actually have an ideal education would be to have 1 teacher per student. That is not really practical.

Or let them choose. See “Summerhill”.

One problem: separate public education for boys and girls is illegal in the US.

There are non-coed schools (not sure about coed schools but segregated classes like I am advocating for?) in the US. Not sure if only private schools are allowed to do that?
