my sister is a teacher, and they have segregated classes if the parents choose, and my sister tells me the girls always do better in the all girls classes, and the boys always do worse in the all boys classes.
'
personally i don't believe in segregating anyone based on sex or gender or race, but, it does seem to be a statistical fact that girls do better in all girls classes and boys do worse.

If i had a girl i would put her in an all girl class.

Reading some of the threads on here lately about how terrible a race the Brits are and what a dreadful place this really is, has me wondering just why so many immigrants want to come here.

Number one reason Truth actually got right in his rambling, but no it's not benefits, it's that if they speak any language at all other than their own (even if it's only a little) - that language is usually English - and so it's much easier for them to exist here than in other European countries.

Second reason is most probably that they have an idealised version of what it's like here told to them before they come...
