Is gender-segregated education better because of the positive benefits of tailored teaching methods or worse because of the reinforcement of gender stereotypes?

So single-sex education is becoming a popular topic among education reformers. The idea behind it is that boys and girls think differently, so teaching methods should be tailored to their type of thinking.

But wouldn't this make education harder for students who do not think like others of their gender? Wouldn't it also reinforce gender stereotypes and place undue emphasis on gender roles in the classroom? Is better education worth this cost?

I took sociology of education, and from that course i took home the fact that these emerging single sex institutions are not public. they are instead these private schools that are only accessible to the relatively upper class and the academically superior students. These makes the student population of these schools much more superior to those of the public, on average at least. This analysis clarifies the reason why gender specific schools might be doing a little better. 

However i personally think that schools should have both genders educated along since, otherwise segregation would only lead to generalization of 'the other', and therefore reinforce that ideas of sexism. However on a micro scale the teachers can approach different genders slightly differently since growth patterns and interest are proven.
 ( like males being more interested in 'physical activities' than their female counterparts; as explained in the book "The War Against Boys - Christina Hoff Sommers ")
