Is girls’ behaviour getting worse or is it really just a case of teachers finally taking it seriously? When I was at school, we girls misbehaved just as much as the boys and, as we were treated equally, were punished for it just as often. Some of my friends attended other schools where misbehaviour by girls was largely overlooked so, although they misbehaved at least as much as I, they appeared to be much better behaved.

 

 

I absolutely agree. the only thing I’d add is that when I was in both Prep and primary schools ( both mixed) I formed the opinions that insofar as girls were concerned the women teachers were far more likely to punish them than the men , who just , yes, told/let them off.
