Atlanta Mayoral Candidate Praises Single-Sex Schools

One of two candidates in a Dec. 1 runoff election for mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, used part of a Nov. 30 radio broadcast to promote her familiarity with  and support of  single-sex schools and other innovative educational approaches.

A Nov. 30 article by Atlanta Journal Constitution political reporter Jim Galloway included the following comments from mayoral candidate Mary Norwood:
I have been a strong advocate for charter schools. I've been a strong advocate for innovation. & I do love people being able to think outside the box and have some different rules. ... Other cities have many more charter schools than Atlanta does right now, and we have buildings that are vacant.

We need to be very thoughtful about what our resources are, and how we can best educate our children. ... I'm also a big proponent of single-sex schools. I went to a girls college for two years, and I understand the difference in single-sex education.
