RSJ#3b: Narrowing Research Topic

I don't think I need to narrow down my topic. With my topic now I can find tons of information and my topic still isn't to broad.

RSJ#3a: Exploring Research Topic

I used the google search engine and typed in a variety of questions about my topic. I found many new information and I added all the great websites to my Delicious account.

I found out that public schools are coeducation and that it seems like it the right way to learn because of equality. How ever it is proven that young girls and boys learn differently because their brains are different. I also found a lot of information i already knew. For instance I already knew that a lot of research is being to better all types of schools and also that public schools now are trying out single sex education. Lastly I found lots of pros and cons for both single sex education as wells as for coeducation.
