Virginia Schools Look at Results When Separating Boys and Girls in the Classroom

Having separation between boys and girls in the past has always been a way many private schools run their classrooms. Motivation for this might be for religious or moral reasons, or just because they don’t want boys and girls being distracted by the opposite sex in the same classroom. Recently, public schools have been separating the boys and girls, and for entirely different reasons. The public schools are separating the sexes due to different learning needs depending on the gender. Apparently girls and boys learn differently. The public schools are not going as far as to completely separate the sexes by putting them on different campuses, but they are all intermixed on one campus but separated in the classrooms. 

Some give the reason for separation in part to the fact that boys and girls distract each other when in the classroom setting and they may not pay much attention to the lesson plan when the opposite sex is in the room. They say by separating the genders, they are removing the distraction and helping test scores go up because students can focus more on the schoolwork and lessons. 

Girls have the reputation that Math, Science and Technology is not the best subject for them. The schools are hoping that by separating the boys and girls, they can adjust the lesson plans for the girls to be geared towards the female brain and how to teach the girls effectively. In result the girls will do better on their tests and have better understanding of the subjects. 

They are calling this separation of the genders in classrooms, Dual Academy. One school that has Adopted this new Dual Academy way of teaching is Imagine Southeast Public Charter School, in Virginia. This single sex education really is showing improvement in the schools that have taken on this dual academy teaching style. Teachers that were critical of this new way were astounded on how much more focused the students were. They said the students were not only focused but they participated more, because of lack of shyness since the opposite gender was not present. Also, the teacher noticed that students took more pride in their work, they were proud of getting good grades and loved that they didn’t have to feel embarrassed in front of the opposite gender when presenting in class or asking questions. 

When we think of separating boys and girls we normally think of three things; private schools, religious reasons or old fashioned morals. Now that we are seeing a trend in public schools starting to separate boys and girls we wonder if that is good for our children’s character to only be around one sex. In real life us adults aren’t segregated anymore. We have to work on a daily basis with the opposite sex and by going to school with the opposite sex, we learn to resist distractions in the classrooms and learn to work with the opposite sex on projects or present projects in front of them. By us segregating genders to boost test scores, is this really helping our youth become diverse and help them feel confident around the opposite genders one day?

Adoption as a Ministry, Adoption as a Blessing $13.99 “”Abba, Father ” Of all the pictures the Lord uses to describe His relationship with believers, that of a loving father to adopted children is perhaps the most tender. As the body of Christ observes families who have lovingly welcomed adopted children into their midst, we gain a greater appreciation of our own adoption into the family of God. Exploring what Scripture says about adoption and the value of children, Michelle Gardner demonstrates that adoption can be God’s first choice for some lives. Weaving her own children’s heartwarming adoption stories throughout the book, Michelle presents a new challenge for believers to do something drastic for a child. Adoption as a Ministry, Adoption as a Blessing explores: – what the Bible says about ministering to children in need of families – how the church can minister to adoptive families – whether it is right to spend a great deal of money on one child’s adoption – whether domestic or international adoptions are more worthy – the blessings of adoption If you are touched by adoption in any way, this book will give you a new perspective on the Biblical significance of this unique relationship. Michelle Gardner, the Director of Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries, is a graduate of Multnomah Bible College. She and her husband Steve were missionaries with CBInternational for several years.

Adoption Is for a Lifetime $14.99 “Nancy was Canada’s first foreign adoptee. She shares her fascinating story of how God orchestrated her adoption from Hong Kong, blessed her with wonderful parents, a loving husband, and in His faithfulness and healing presence, brought them through every struggle, especially the loss of their first daughter, Rebecca Joy. Despite the grief, Nancy shares how God turned their pain into joy and sorrow into victory. From what may have seemed like a tragedy to most, Nancy and her husband, Paul, now see how God used this great trial to prepare their hearts for the adoption of Joylin (5), their first precious daughter and their second, Saralin (1). Take a journey with Nancy, as she testifies of the abiding presence of our heavenly Father’s heart for adoption. Nancy (Lai Kwan Chiu) was born in Hong Kong. At 3 years of age, she was adopted by Chinese parents and became Canada’s first foreign adoptee. She lived with her parents and adopted brother, Gerry, in Montreal until she was 13, after which her family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and eventually pursued a career in computer programming. Nancy, her husband, Paul, and adopted Chinese daughters, Joylin (5) and Sarlin (1) now live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she works as a computer programmer/systems analyst. She enjoys serving as head deacon at her local church and co-teaching an adult Sunday School class with Paul. Nancy’s greatest passion, however, is being a mother to Joylin and Saralin, her pride and joy.”

The Open Adoption Book: A Guide to Adoption Without Tears $13.95 “Updated for a New Paperback Edition, the Definitive Guide to Open Adoption, by the founder of the Open Adoption Movement The exploding popularity of open adoption today underscores what adopting parents, birthparents, and many adoption experts now maintain: Open adoption is the healthiest, most humane, and fastest method available. It’s better for the birthmother, because she (not lawyers or social workers) decides the future of her child. It’s better for children, because they’re raised without the shroud of secrecy and stigma that accompanies most closed adoptions. And it’s better for adopting parents, because it dramatically shortens the time it takes to obtain a baby, from an average of seven years to under one year. As director of one of the country’s leading open adoption agencies and founder of the first nationwide network of open adoption organizations, Bruce Rappaport has facilitated thousands of successful open adoptions and acquired an intimate understanding of the most common and heartfelt concerns of parents seeking to adopt a baby. Interweaving personal stories and real-life experiences of adopting parents, birthparents, and adopted children, he answers the questions clients most frequently ask:> * What is an open adoption? How does it differ from traditional adoption?> * Will I ever feel like a real parent if my child’s biological mother knows I’m raising her child? Will she interfere?> * What if the birthmother changes her mind after the adoption?> * How long will it take to get a child?> Documenting answers with extensive personal experience and research, Dr. Rappaport paints a reassuring yet realistic picture of the open adoption process. The result is a highly informative, deeply moving book that will help many people realize the greatest joy life can offer.”

God patterned adoption by adopting us into His family through His Son Jesus hrist. May this book challenge birth and adoptive parents to allow children to experience God’s unconditional love through the gift of adoption. Judith E. Shalllcross, Retired Christian School principal.”

Indian Captivity in Spanish America $22.5 Even before the arrival of Europeans to the Americas, the practice of taking captives was widespread among Native Americans. Indians took captives for many reasons: to replace — by adoption — tribal members who had been lost in battle, to use as barter for needed material goods, to use as slaves, or to use for reproductive purposes. From the legendary story of John Smith’s captivity in the Virginia Colony to the wildly successful narratives of New England colonists taken captive by local Indians, the genre of the captivity narrative is well known among historians and students of early American literature. Not so for Hispanic America. Fernando Oper? redresses this oversight, offering the first comprehensive historical and literary account of Indian captivity in Spanish-controlled territory from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Originally published in Spanish in 2001 as Historias de la frontera: El cautiverio en la Am?rica hisp?nica, this newly translated work reveals key insights into Native American culture in the New World’s most remote regions. From the happy captivity of the Spanish military captain Francisco Nu?ez de Pineda y Bascu??n, who in 1628 spent six congenial months with the Araucanian Indians on the Chilean frontier, to the harrowing nineteenth-century adventures of foreigners taken captive in the Argentine Pampas and Patagonia; from the declaraciones of the many captives rescued in the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to the riveting story of Helena Valero, who spent twenty-four years among the Yanomam? in Venezuela during the mid-twentieth century, Oper?’s vibrant history spans the entire gamut of Spain’sfar-flung frontiers. Eventually focusing on the role of captivity in Latin American literature, Oper? convincingly shows how the captivity genre evolved over time, first to promote territorial expansion and deny intercultural connections during the colonial era, and later to romanticize th

Phantoms of a Blood-Stained Period $22.47 Alone among important American writers, Ambrose Bierce fought for four years in the Civil War. The writings he produced about that conflict comprise a body of work unique in our nation’s literature. This volume gathers for the first time virtually everything Bierce wrote about the war, from letters composed on the field of battle to maps he drew as a topographical engineer, from his masterful short stories to his final bittersweet ruminations before he disappeared into Mexico in 1914.The collection is organized chronologically, following Bierce’s participation in a wide range of battles, from the early skirmishes in the West Virginia mountains to the bloodbaths at Shiloh and Chickamauga and his near fatal wounding at Kennesaw Mountain. His overlapping accounts of these events provide a clear and compelling record of the sights and sounds of the battlefield, the psychological traumas the war induced in its soldiers, and the memories that would haunt survivors for the rest of their lives. In prose that anticipates the work of Ernest Hemingway and Tim O’Brien, Bierce’s writings unflinchingly tell the truth about the war.Writing in the 1880s and 1890s, at a time when both the North and South were erecting monuments to the heroes and glories of the war, Bierce insisted that his readers confront what really happened. Rather than celebrate causes and comrades, Bierce’s fiction and memoirs describe the impossibly brutal realities of the Civil War battlefield.The volume includes a biographical introduction and comprehensive notes on all the writings and is suitable for classroom adoption and general readers alike.
