    Is it that they're sexist or you feel they are sexist? Can you give some examples?

    Not everything is sexist its likely to prevent you from fingering every slapper in the privacy of the classroom unsupervised

    I've read your post and I believe you have a case , the problem is Im not allowed give legal advice , the Mods tend to get a bit tetchy around me doing stuff like that.

    Similarly Im not allowed give medical advice.Im ok with that because I pretend Im a vet in medical cases.

    Didn't you post a long thread on this before? Why was it necessary to post it again? What do you expect moaning to us will achieve?

    If it bothers you so much and you're getting nowhere by talking to the school then change schools to one that has an ethos that suits you better.

    So girls are allowed into the their rooms and boys are also.
    Boys are allowed phones and girls are also.

    Sounds like equality to me.

    The phone part is a bit odd.
    But... wait...
    So it's a boarding school and the girls are day girls and aren't allowed in the boarding boys' rooms...

    The day girls aren't boarders so they don't have rooms.
    I think that's what he's getting at.

    Actually scratch that... I've no idea what he's talking about.

    Young man, I put it too you that you need to work on your writing skills. Perhaps you could plan out your posts a little bit.

    Edit: ok making more sense now with the posts that went up while I was typing this...

    They're breaking the Sexism Act of 1975. You should take them to the Small Claims Court first thing Monday morning!

    No one is trying to humiliate you, but if you're bad at spelling and grammar you have to make more of an effort to be under stood.
    Your original comment left out any clue of who could do which thing.

    Girls dorms are locked during the day

    Lunch is in the canteen

    This is about Border boys and girls...

    Ok so both boys and girls, in a boarding school together, the boys are allowed in their own rooms at lunchtime and the girls are not allowed in their own rooms? Or in the boys rooms?
    If it's their rooms then is it a matter of the school not having enough staff to supervise the girls' dorms and the boys' dorms?
    Do the boys need access to change for sport?

    Have you asked them why? Do they have justified reasons for this? Could you also ask them to leave the back gate unlocked on Tuesdays to save me having to walk all the way down the road and through the main gates to get to the swimming pool? It would take a whole ten minutes off the journey and I hate walking up the road in the dark. Thanks x peace

    Poor grammar and spelling happen, no one's perfect but if you leave out which people are and which people aren't allowed to do a thing don't get upset when people ask you what you mean...

    That's crystal clear! Good job!
    The girls can have phones for safety reasons. You know the sort of safety I mean.
    Don't complain that you can have access to your room you'll just lose that privilege for yourself and the other lads rather than get it for the girls.

    So which side of the border are you ?

    If it's the North then you can take mattjack's advice if you are in the South he has no jurisdiction so steer clear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭1shot16


    hmm we might lose getting ours rooms...
    yeah but the phone thing ever one needs them boys and girls to make home arrangments meet up in town when we are allowed out...

    I have a sim and i dont hand it (phone can be kept without sim)annoying to take it in out of phone as it clears things off your phone etc and the headmaster knows i probably have one and says hes waiting to catch me and the day he catches me im not giving it up...EVER
