Boys School?

Listen to the item

When Maggie was 16 she ended up attending an all-boys grammar school in the very first year it turned co-ed - when there were only 8 girls in among all that testosterone!

Needless to say, these few girls caused consternation and confusion among the boys and especially among the male staff - they just didn't know what to do with them!.

Well Maggie herself didn't have any problems with it - in fact she preferred it to the times she had just spent at a Girls Grammar school - this was much more fun, and she made good friends with the lads.


Did you attend an unusual school?
