Lulu - "Everyone always goes on about how this is the 21st century and how everyone is equal. How men and women are equal. But they're still not! It drives me crazy!! All these jokes on women make me so angry! And I'm fed up with all the guys I know making stupid comments on girls! I'm going to go mad! It's like we were put on earth to cook and clean and make babies, but we were given too much brains! "

Mia - "I don't think girls and boys are given fair chances in the world of sport. Girls can play football and rugby, but not with boys at our school, because they are 'contact' sports, and if England's Women's team won, say the world cup, it wouldn't be a big deal like it is if the men's team even if they qualify."

Moto - "The teachers probably think that the girls can cope with what the boys are doing."

Laura - "At my secondary school, there are more extra-curricular activities for boys. There's loads of football, basketball, rugby etc (which I agree, should be single-sex) but there's no trampolining club and no netball team (but there IS a basket ball team of boys)"

Charlie - "I think it's bad that the genders are separated (in sports when they don't have to be), because the girls that are better at sport don't get given a challenge, which is especially prominent when you compare the times achieved in the PE lessons, and the times run on Sports day, where middle-distance races are mixed to save time. I understand that some sports after 11 have to be single-sex, but completely segregating boys and girls is not the answer, because it restricts the sporting skills of both genders."

Jess & Jen -"Girls should be given the same chance. In primary school we always did P.E with the boys. Now were in secondary we don't."

Laura - "In my Primary and Secondary schools, in the kind of PE lesson's where it's dance or trampolining the lessons were mixed, but when it's a sport like football or hockey or basketball, it's always been girl v. girls and boys v. boys, even in Primary. Then again, in yr 3/4, nearly all the girls still had this thing of "Eww! boys are disgusting weird little aliens, we should keep away from them as much as possible!" so we thought it was a good idea at the time!"

Mullet - "I wish girls were allowed to play rugby, its so unfair."

And I think its rubbish about Boys being better at girls at sports, my soccer team played the boys team and we beat them 9-0,

Though I think boys do think girls are weak and go easy on them when they're playing them coz my cousins used to do that but then after a while they finally started playing normally."

Should PE lessons be mixed or single sex? Do mixed lessons make boys look bad, or help sporty girls to perform better? Do boys play to rough to mix with girls in some sports? What is your school's PE policy?

Charlie -  "At our school, all lower-school PE is single-sex, meaning that the sports chosen also work out to be very sexist. Girls aren't allowed to play football or rugby, and end up doing dance and gymnastics. The only sport run together for lower school is cross-country, because it takes place out of school, although when we get there they're often separated, so the only time that it can be guaranteed is the trials. I am really pleased that GCSE PE lessons are mixed, apart from football, rugby, rounders and netball, because it gives girls and boys a chance to learn off each other. I understand that some sports after 11 have to be single-sex, but completely segregating boys and girls is not the answer, because it restricts the sporting skills of both genders."
