A former firefighter, Jeff Ferguson teaches at the Dr. Walter Cunningham School for Excellence in Waterloo, which began offering single-sex classes for interested students starting in 2004. The classes have helped several students, especially boys, lift their grades and test scores. The boys at Cunningham Elementary say Ferguson's lessons go beyond academics by teaching them how to be gentlemen and treat others with respect. The "nation's teachers' unions neither endorse nor oppose the concept" (Horng, ABC news, April 18, 2009).
