Hear Hear, it is what I keep on stating to others who refuse to send their sons to coed. My concern for the recent news is that they got it all wrong. You do not integrate boys and girls at their age, it has to start from age 3 and has to be continuous.

In my opinion, the primary reason for the success of co-ed in the private, fee-paying schools is that the PARENTS are highly motivated to ensure that their offspring get a good, all-round education (thereby getting value for money).

Can the same be said for government and/or Church schools?

Labour also pushed co-education in the 1980s. My son remembers hiding under a bed with girl pupils of the same age when the Keystone Police came knocking on doors searching for underground classes that took place in people’s homes when KMB’s Labour government closed down the church schools.

The British Empire was built on the mono-gender playing fields of Eton.

What more wondrous events might have occurred had girls been admitted in those days?
