Huh?

So forced segregation is the answer huh? I wonder how well that is going to work out for you ... 😂😂😂

Let's enforce equality, by segregation? Alrighty then.

Shaping up to boys from the get go is what made me the confident woman who takes no nonsense from boys or men. There is nothing intimidating about the male of the species. Far from it. Learn that early and prosper.

My 16yo grandson said to me recently 'I'm glad I'm in a boys only school nan, girls are a distraction'. From the mouths of babes.

So now you will be creating more confusion and discrimination if someone is suffering from GenderFluidity in a same same sex school,

Wrong conclusion. If girls are being held back in co-ed schools, then we should be working on creating environments that promote healthy relationships between boys and girls from a young age, and in particular ensure girls can be successful and confident.

this is from the same people that promoted 'the trickle down' effect, cutting penalty rates will mean more jobs, privatisation will mean lower prices for electric and gas and businesses need to pay less tax so as to pay employees more and to stimulate the economy, yeah right

All girls or all boys, why not just say it?! They're called PRIVATE schools, I went to an ALL GIRLS college when I was 10. I was a boarder and there were day girls. This gender equality campaign is utter crap and it needs to stop targeting every facet of our society!!

You are making it even more divisive with this nonsense. Can we just get back to basics & teach? Social skills of interaction with all sorts of peers is imperative. Stop the molly-coddling of kids so it’s not a ‘poor me’ society.

Is this a joke? So this means that there is girls school, boys school and what? I mean this system feels quite out of date I you ask me (who’s Swedish) a lot of a lot of people doesn’t identify as either of these genders so from that perspective this is extremely excluding!

I went to a single sex school. Good academically, but poor for social skills. I’d suggest a hybrid model would be best.

Single sex schools are unnatural and promote an artificial environment that girls then need to adjust from setting them back years. I believe coed schools with single sex classes could be beneficial to both genders.

Need to have a revolution many humans need tobe put into a box..tic toc..

Not sure how that statement works. Single sex schools have been around for 100+ years.

Is it gender equality that's needed? Suspect it's actually gender equity

I hope one day there's a crucial realisation that the genders are not equal. Just hope the realisation is sooner rather than later, before the society fully disintegrate and become permanently damaged.

😲

What? I thrived going to a co-ed public high school. In year 7 I used to beat all the boys bar 2 in cross country mixed training runs in PE. Then when we grew up in year 12 the young men were my best friends at school. I loved learning side by side with boys.

Gender equality in opportunities or gender equality in outcomes? The first is a noble goal, enforcing the second is a moronic idea.

43% of boys are raised by single mothers/grannies 78% of teachers are female, almost 100% before high school So almost 50% of boys have 100% female influence at home and an 80% chance of 100% female influence at school. Toxic masculinity is not the problem LACK of masculinity is.

For the sake of our boys too.

School kids encouraged to explore gender rolesStudents in select schools across Western Australia are set to be the first in the state to take part in a controversial program aimed at breaking down traditional gender roles. While brave women in Iran risk their freedoms to remove the burkha, we will force our young boys into them. Australia is broken. Gave them a education not a mind screwing program Yeah. Telling people - even kids - not to do things always works. Is there anyone with a clue involved in the education of Australian children?
