Single-sex education

So I'd love to understand your perspective about that separation and what is the benefit from your experience?

I think it depends on the function of the school, right? And so if you have the single-sex schools, I think from a traditional sense, some of the practices and ideologies can be antiquated.

When I created the Seattle School for Boys, the kind of foundational components were, how do we emphasize communication in a way that normalizes boys checking in with themselves internally, but also how they project their communication externally? amongst their peers? How do they build confidence through experiential learning? And so this is like bringing in community members, going out to the community and really getting a sense of the purpose behind the learning.

And it helps to kind of ask the question or answer the question of why are we doing this type of work? The purpose of the Seattle School for Boys was to really humanize the learning experience.
