The girls will do well whether they are with boys or not but the boys do find girls a distraction(and Russ I'm really not being sexist or racist just pragmatic).
I as a teacher will consider any method if it benefits the students and their future as members of our society.If one way of teaching a subject won't work I'll try another way.If one explanation is not understood then I'll try to rephrase it it so the student can understand.I'll keep doing that until the child understands.
Not everyone does well in mainstream education and there should be a way to accomodate them all.

No. The casualties end up in an FE college and in most cases black youth make progress in a class of all sorts. FE usually picks up school failures and transforms them into success stories. It may be of course these school failures can focus on worthwhile goals, regardless of the ethnicity of the teaching staff. It would be quite wrong to follow the T. Phillips path, after all, how long ago was it that we were being advised that boys generally were performing less well than girls.
