Ten years in a girls' school can make one weird. I guess you will be highly competitive and sensitive huh. But it's not like mixed sch people are all normal...
Well, just a thought. How people change according to their environment. Is single sex education better than coeducation?
For me, I feel that guys are better off in a single sex sch. For some reasons I feel that girls are actually more competitive. It's in us, we can't deny it. Some girls can say that they are never jealous of anyone but I think they are all lying. We can't not feel jealousy or a little envious of others. It's the same as saying, "Oh, I've never felt angry/happy in my life before." Bullshit.
Being jealous is what makes a girl. Maybe jealous is too strong, but definitely envious. We are envious and then we compete. Guys compete of course, but in a different way. Guys compete physically but girls compete spiritually. Put me in a room full of girls and I can almost instantly sieve out friends, only-say-hi-in-sch friends and so on. One or few chats and I can know for sure I will be or won't be part of your life. So since girls form clusters much faster then guys, then it's for sure they will be more competitive. Hrum strangely, I am not totally convinced by myself. Ok, lets say competitive = bitchy. Oh yes, girls ARE more competitive.
When I look at my brother, I really feel that guys should be in single sex school. Well of course single sex school have its own set of problems like guys doing all dirty things together (like ARMY) but considering their age when they are in secondary, I doubt it would be anything severe. It may even enhance male bonding... Male bonding huh...hehe.
Son: "Mom, I'm gay." Me: " Oh, why do you think think so?" Son: "I feel happy with guys..." Me: "When did it start?" Son: "Not really sure..." Me: " Maybe it will change over time, because environment drastically changes a person." Son: "Maybe..." Me: "Anyway, mom is so proud of you for being so frank. Good for you!" *Hugs*
In any case, I would send my son to a single sex school and my girl to a mixed. That is if they have no preferences.
Daughter: "Mom, I want to be in a girls' school." Me: "Ok, which school?" Daughter: " St Anthony Canossian" Me: " You better reconsider darling."
HAHAH Well I guess it still depends on which sch one goes to. People from certain school have certain traits. Like I'm from NAS and I am full of courtesy and righteousness. :)
Ah, I really really miss NAS.
The days that I can never go back to and the days that will always be in my memory.
