The findings suggest that single-sex education may be an
effective instructional strategy for facilitating math and reading improvement for female
students. Also, based upon the findings of this study, single-sex education may have a
positive impact on attendance for males and females.

Depending on one's point of view, this statement can trigger arguments both for and against single-sex education.
