All girls to College

[ByBrickSnake]

I just had a thought and wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences or noticed anything like I have!

Ive recently left an all girls high school and moved into a college in the next city and I’ve just been astonished by the way other people act, there seems to be a massive lack of common sense and manners. Its was only last week our lecturer had to stop to tell people it was rude to fall asleep and talk when they were talking! I cant tell if this is me overreacting or if anyone else has noticed anything similar but I just find it so bizarre, In high school if we’d done anything of the sorts you would have been put in isolation or been dished a detention.

any comments would be appreciated as I can’t tell if its just me or not! ❤️

Our eldest has just moved to coed grammar sixth form from private day school and is astonished by some of the behaviour and chatting throughout the lesson..

The problem with FE is there are no sanctions. You can't put someone in detention.

I went to an all girls school many many years ago, on my PGCE training a group of us visited an all girls school and the others were shocked about how quiet it ws.

Surely it’s just the difference between school and university. Rather than being with just girls.

School children are different from adults in many ways.

Yes, you are correct. There is a difference between university and school. 😂

However, if I’m not mistaken the OP is referring to college, in the UK. So school for people in the last few years of school.

Yes I think she means sixth form college.

Our college make it abundantly clear that you are there because you want to study, and if you choose not to apply yourself you are asked to leave. Behaviour is vastly better than in the feeder schools, because all the disruptive pupils who make life such a misery in secondary schools don’t make it into the college (not that they would want to go anyway).

yeah thats what I mean, sorry if it wasn’t too clear!

Well yes, it’s not school.
