Single-sex education has long been an intriguing option for parents looking for the best education for their children. Some have argued that a single-sex environment can better cater to the educational needs that each gender tends to display.

A BBC program called "Gareth Malone's Extraordinary School for Boys" is dedicated to exploring the benefits that single-sex education can have for boys. In the show, a primary school teacher oversees an all-boys class for a semester and attempts to "re-engage boys who don't like school and who, like many across Britain, lag behind their female peers."
The show has stimulated increased conversation regarding the merits of single-sex education. A recent piece at The Atlantic Wire provides a snapshot of the discussion.
