As listed in the text, what are some of the reasons that some people do NOT support single-sex schools?

What will be an ideal response?

Critics argue that single-sex classes and schools violate student's civil rights, representing a return to educational
segregation. They argue that gender-segregated programs tend to be unequal, with girl's programs receiving fewer
resources. Although the intent of single-sex programs is to combat gender stereotypes, critics argue that they may
actually reinforce stereotypes by having, for example, better science facilities in boy's schools than in girls'. Critics
argue that public schools' time and money are better spent on enhanced teacher training and ensuring that
elements of good education are in place, such as small classes, fair instructional practices, and a solid academic
curriculum.
