Should boys and girls receive the same education? Sex-related discrimination and segregation in the classroom are illustrated in the «Girls Just Want to Have Sums» episode. The conflicts unfold around the following question: Should there be separate math classes for boys and girls, or have social values led to beliefs in an alleged gendered difference in abilities? Lisa’s rebellion against the educational proposal of one school for boys and another for girls breaks down the traditional gender binary and offers an alternative response to the question, founding a new order from the disorder of the previous structures.
