No problem getting a date for the debs

    A girl in Cork has been allowed enroll at an all boys school. Instantly the hottest girl in school.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0806/cork.html
    Minister for Education Batt O'Keeffe has insisted a decision to allow a girl in Cork to attend the city's last 'boys only' VEC college does not 'open the flood gates' to single sex schools.

    Mr O'Keeffe said that schools would now have to be clearer on their enrolment policy.

    The girl's mother had appealed to the Department of Education to force Nagle Community College in Mahon to enrol her daughter.

    AdvertisementThe VEC had argued that it was understood that they did not enrol girls.

    Speaking this afternoon, Mr O'Keeffe said that the Department would be writing to single sex schools over the next two days, warning that if they were not clear in their enrolment policies they could face similar challenges.

    The other way round would be interesting.

    Wouldn't happen the other way round tbh.

    This is the result of uber-PC flunkies and do-gooders acting the tit.

    It's the subsequent PC madness that will be really good. Why can't my daughter be on the basketball team and so on. They are probably going to have to build a separate toilet for her or let her use the staff one.

    I hear she's a shoe in for prom queen.

    She'll probably tell all the lads she is, otherwise she'll be the school bike in like three days.

    By default she already is. She's also the nerdiest, hottest, tallest, shortest, fattest, prettiest, ugliest, skinniest, manliest girl in the whole school. Will they have to build a new girl's changing room now?

    At least she will have a good career in porn

    There'll be soem competition in that school


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,125 ✭✭✭lee_arama


    Thinly veiled "My girl was expelled from every other school" action.

    This is idiocy of the highest order. No pics please, I know a grand total of 2 hot girls/women from Mahon and I'm fairly sure this one is no relation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,296 ✭✭✭RandolphEsq


    Was she not autistic or did I hear wrong?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    this already happened a good while back in Ard Scoil Rís in Limerick, teachers daughter was the only girl in the school.

    It'll be difficult for her to change in the middle of a jerkin' circle for the first couple of weeks but she'll learn to deal with it.

    Good point... and a girls dunny too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    I wonder if humans stuck in single sex environments can eventually change gender like some fish/frogs.

    I propose routine random (read only the hot chicks of legal age ;)) gynacologiclalical (sp?) examinations of students in all-girl schools.

    Any volunteers preferably with some gynaocla... wimmins bits experience although it's not a requirement?

    exactly what i was thinking.

    On a more serious note.......She will probably end up getting drilled like the corrib gas field.

    The money from newspaper stories or the "fame" probably. Or maybe as a political stunt since her daughter can't get a place elsewhere. Or else it's a misguided equality thing.

    For **** sake people, she's 12. Cut the sexual crap out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    If this starts hammering nails in the coffin of the joke that is single sex schools then I'm all for it.
    Co Ed schooling should be mandatory...the church had it's way with this country for far too long.

    On the topic in question the mother sounds like she's making all the decisions without too much input from her daughter...it's all very well calling Liveline and telling everyone she's okay with it but I find it hard to believe that when school opens in september and she has to actualy go in, tht there won't be some hesitancy and second thoughts. The added cost to the school of having to provide facilities should a be a concern and TBH as it stands, if I were the parents of a boy attending, I might have a problem with this for a couple of reasons...

    Really? Why?

    One girl in a school? Distraction possibly, perhaps leading to lapse in learning...also the fact of the school having to provide extra amenities for their new pupil, where does that budget come from and does it cut into the budget of other pupils....I'm not saying I have a problem with this as it stands...I'm saying that if I were a parent, that those things would be on my mind, either rightly or wrongly...

    If one fella came into my school he'd be eaten alive.


    Then he'd go back to the boys school traumatized and a fully fledged homosexual.

    A girl attending an all guys school....in Mahon?
    What the hell are her parents trying to do to the girl!?

    Wonder how bad she'll do, as all the subjects will be thought with the male brain in mind?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    What's she gonna do when it's woodwork/metalwork? Oh, I suppose the home ec teacher will be cool with teaching her on her own.

    Yeah, Nagle is supposed to be a bit of a toughie environment all right. Her folks insisted Ursulines (the girls school in the area) was too far away - a 35-minute walk. Now I don't know how anywhere in Blackrock/Mahon could be 35 minutes' walk from Ursulines. Maybe they mean round trip? If so, 20 minutes' walk to and from... well maybe that might be problematic for this particular kid, who knows...

    Is our secondary school curriculum sophisticated enough to tailor subjects for anyone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    This reminds me of a reversed Love Hina.

    Speaking as one who hated her all-girls school, I would have preferred if things had been taught with the male brain in mind - then again I did 3 sciences for LC.

    Doesn't make it right to trivialise it though.

    Why wouldn't she do either woodwork or metalwork? (her autism aside).

    The one real bonus of this decision which I don't think has been mentioned yet is that the schools who now currently exclude on ability may have to take all who apply or clearly state in their enrolment policy that they do not take children who are not high achievers. That alone would do a great deal to do away with the ghettoisation of weaker ability kids in certain types of schools.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Big deal.

    Results prove that men do better in mixed-sex environments. Probably because being an idiot in front of women makes you less attractive, whereas being intelligent in front of all-male peers will get you ridiculed.

    Women do better in a single-sex environment, probably because they're so easily distracted :pac::pac:

    FWIW, there are apparently 17 other girls trying to get in, this was just a test case, so now there'll probably be 18 girls starting in September.

    The school in question is also mixed from 4th - 6th year, it's only the junior cycle that's males only. So there should be very little in the way of having to build/provide extra facilities.

    Only for public schools most likely. Private schools will still retain the right to exclude whoever they want. Unfortunately.
