The debate is still on about co-ed schools.
The founding fathers, I think, were wise enough to separate the boys from the girls in education.
There were Boys Foundation and Girls Foundation; Harrison College (boys) and Queen’s College (girls).
That served us admirably, for boys performed well.
But now with co-educational schools the boys are underperforming. No chauvinism nor disrespect, but girls are definitely a distraction in school.
With the girls around, boys are not going to be thinking mathematics, their minds will be on romantics.
Those who brought this co-ed idea to fruition are extremely bright. They are all in a class by themselves.
Maybe they are female chauvinists, for in this co-ed outfit the girls keep outperforming the boys.
