Youtube clip on same sex education.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twi45Hg1hG4&feature=related

This clip is about two different professionals views on same sex education. One lady believes that single sex classes would help the students focus better on their classes and that it has been proved by research that it does in fact help the students do better in school.
The other lady thinks that splitting up the classes is only a "band-aid" to what the problem really is, she believes that the problem is how the size of classes, funding of the schools, how well the teachers are trained, technology availabilty. There is evidence to prove that smaller classes and better trained teachers also helps change schools and the students grades. she says this helps students get more one-on-one time thus helping them learn better.
This video is ordinally from MSNBC news channel and both of these people are reliable sources and talk about how research backs up both of their ideas how which way education method would help the students the most. I believe that this is a good source because both women have research to back their ideas up, this helping to make their arguements stronger when there is research to support their ideas.
