Answer one of the following questions: 

1. Was principal Deanna Burney justified in her decision to leave? 

2. Are single-gender classrooms (similar to Mr. Coats’) a good idea?

3. After viewing the movie, would you be interested in teaching in a similar school?

Answer thoroughly, and respectfully respond to someone else!
