Did you experience any implications of equal oppotunity while in education??

Question

it's a survey i need to do for my college course so please keep answers serious

Answer 1

I was at school in 1975 when the Equal Opportunities act was introduced, affecting education, work etc.

I wanted to do cookery but tradition at my school 'dictated' that, as a boy, I must do metalwork. I stood up as the only boy in my year to demand the right to cook.

I was warned that I was seen as a troublemaker though I didnt care. I demanded my rights, at age 11. They forced me to do needlework, if I was to be allowed to cook- and I had to do the 6 months of needlework first, to earn the 'right' to access equal opportunities and thus do some cooking!

My needlework teacher gave me my worst ever school report - I didnt want to learn how to use a sewing machine, in the slightest. Stupid, narrow minded vindictive idiot who didn't care that my education was damaged, because I was pursuing my legal right.

Answer 2

Well, there are hardly any male teachers in primary schools. How can females be a good role model for boys. Moreover, schools at both primary and secondary levels, have more than their fair share of feminists employed within them. This has impacted on the way that the syllabus is taught, course work for example, rather than exams. This is known to prejudice boys. And also, the syllabus itself has been feminised. We see the results of this in the poor performance of boys. There has also been a prejudice against competition, particularly in sport, as everyone must have prizes. Boys are not the same as girls, and shouldn't be seen as interchangeable.
