 Social Development vs. Homeschooling - Families.com
Gender-segregated schools are not a good idea for much the same reason - basically we all have to learn to survive and thrive in the real world - not an insular one.
These schools compete for students like L.J. Decker, 17, from Katy, Texas, who scored 1560 on the SAT and was part of a team of homeschoolers who won the Toshiba ExploraVision contest for their futuristic scuba device that would use artificial hemoglobin to convert the oxygen in water into air.

 THE VISIT OF HRH THE PRINCE OF W   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
His Royal Highness will be meeting with a cross-section of Australians involved in a variety of projects of interest including medical staff, school teachers, sporting coaches, farmers and indigenous Australians.
More than three quarters of the costs involved in the Visit relate to expenses in Australia, including some $600,000 for security, the major part of which is not a direct cost, but only an allocated expense from existing resources.
This is by no means a criticism of the Denmarks whose support of the relevant charities is to be applauded but is rather an indication of how things should be put into a rational perspective as against the intransigent anti-royal bias of some media personalities.

 Charles, Prince of Wales - InfoSearchPoint.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Previous investitures had taken place at various locations, including the Palace of Westminster, the seat of parliament.
Prior to the ceremony, Charles had studied at Gordonstoun School in Scotland, at Trinity College, Cambridge, and also at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, where he went specifically in order to learn the Welsh language -- the first English-born prince ever to make a serious attempt to do so.
This won him some popularity in the principality, but the investiture also aroused considerable hostility among some Welsh nationalists, and there were threats of violence.
