Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I write a weekly column called Parenting in a Nutshell which is nationally syndicated every week in Gannett newspapers. I am looking for parents' opinion on the new ruling that schools and classrooms can be divided by sex - teaching boys and girls seperately. What is your reaction to this? My column does not tell readers how to think, instead offering tips and education, so I will not take a stand on this issue in print.

I would very much appreciate your responses and will print only your initials and city/state, so please include those.

Send your responses and questions to parentinginanutshell@joimail.com. Put CLassrooms in the subject and I wll respond immediately.

Thanks so much. -DOreen Nagle
