Cannot believe boys & girls are still taught different sports in PE..

[CityFox]

When I was at school 20 odd years ago, girls played netball, tennis and hockey. The boys got yo play basketball, football and rugby...

I always thought this most unfair, and after much petitioning we were offered an after school rugby club for girls.

I am to hear via another thread that this is still the case, why??? Aibu to think it's pretty sexist all round?

Boys and girls did PE together at my school back on the day. I was shocked when we moved down to England and DS1 got gender stereotyped PE.

A colleague did his PhD years ago about PE in schools and found that single sex PE schools were far less inclusive of children with SN than those who did mixed sex PE.

My daughter plays in a mixed rugby team and can do until the end of the U11's. She is one of the bigger kids at this age and tackles harder than most of the boys but we will struggle for a team once she needs to move to single sex.

I don't know any secondary schools who offer rugby for girls in the area but it would sway me when it comes to looking around them, even if it was just touch rugby.

DH is a PE teacher. I've just asked him about this. They have separate PE. They trialled it with top set Y9s and abandoned it because the girls didn't like it. For mixed moderation for Y11 last week the girls told him they didn't want to do it in front of the boys, and I quote, 'because their tits were bouncing around'.
