A girl at the school started a campaign to have equal representation, and apparently has been bullied by teachers and other pupils alike according to their Facebook page.

Good on her, I've signed and will circulate it. A small simple request that should have been easy to consider.

ageingrunner · 29/03/2017 23:33

I can't believe she even had to ask, Assassinated. You'd think they'd have done it in the first place

Absolutely! The last school that I worked in introduced houses the year that I left. It had a fairly conservative SLT but even they managed to name 2 out of the 4 houses after women.

Just bumping this for you

Boofeckinghoo · 30/03/2017 13:24

Signed.
Stupid backward attitude from a school that should be educating not telling its female pupils women aren't as important as men.

CognitiveIllusion · 30/03/2017 13:29

Signed

Signed!

I have signed. Don't know the girl or the school but happy to sign. Sad that a petition is needed. Fed up that women have to fight just to get half.

ageingrunner · 31/03/2017 08:55

Thanks again Eastpoint! Smile
Thanks WellErrr
