A Professors

The author’s purpose of “What Our Research Shows” is to inform the readers of his stance on this topic. He believes that single sex education is not superior to co-ed education. He believes that single sex classrooms promote sexism and being stereotypical.  He says that “Single-sex education fails to produce academic benefits and inflates gender stereotyping.” I know this is reliable because this came from the New York Times online newspaper and the author (Richard Fabes) is a Professor of Child Development at the School of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University.  I do not think there is any slants in this article because he is able to back up his information but I do think it is some what opinionated because he is responding to an article that he read. So he is backing up his side with facts as well as opinion.
