    How can you say what route single-sex classes are taking in the U.S. when 
so few school districts even offer them?
    Also, many school districts barely have enough interested students for 
one physics class and one advanced chemistry class in each high school.  The 
effect of demanding two sections of every higher science class would probably 
be for the district to quit offering it, because most schools aren't 
interested in running classes for 12.
