Authors Claim: There is no advantage with a single sex school as opposed to a co-ed school. There is nothing that shows that single sex schools enhance the education.
Evidence: The author says how we shouldn't have even come to this. Comparing gender to race. She says that Talking about segregating women in the classroom is just like seperating by race. It's discriminating. She states how we live in a co-ed world now and we should get used to it.

Authors Argument: The authors argument is that the grades between single sex instruction and co-ed learning is inconsistent.
Evidence: That means that single sex eduction does not mean better grades for the students. Although the teachers felt that the learning environment was better in the single sex environment rather than the co-ed environment. Although the students felt the other way. Their studies showed that boys recieve more attention throughout school than girls. They also found that boys were more ambigious in the single sex education situation. The girls responses to the single sex education setting was more optimismic.
Assumtions: Single sex education settings create a more cohesive educational setting compared to a co-ed sitting. That does not mean better grades though, just maybe fewer distractions.
This is a credible source because these three authors did the research needed to write this.

Expectations and Response to chpt. 1 SAW
I expect the chapter 1 reading to tell me how to write summaries, how to use qotations, how to paraphrase correctly. I suspect that the definitions of summary, quotation, and paraphrase are similar but I hope that the examples will further my knowledge of these writing tools and help me use them in the future. The chapter covered what I expected it to but it went into much more depth than I thought it would, which was nice. The information I found that was most useful to me was how to summarize tables and graphs. Summarizing can be difficult, especially something like a graph. The information I gathered will definitely help me.
