Hosts Justin Trottier and Michael Payton discuss the debate surrounding the implementation of a boys' focused school in Toronto, which has occurred under the leadership of Chris Spence, the education director for the Toronto District School Board in Ontario, Canada.
Michael and Justin agree the acknowledgment of the problem of boys' dropping out and under-enrolling in university is a great vindication, while debating the relative merits of segregation by gender versus other potential solutions to this problem. They also compare and contrast gender segregation in education with Afrocentric schools as well as divisions based on religion or culture.
