I chanced upon an old article of the Straits Times the other day. Here's how it goes:
X is one of the top single-sex secondary schools. Its students are notoriously clever - and famously square. According to the patient, the school's ethos is one of a de-sexing of the girls. The impressionable adolescents are, through messages spoken and subliminal, taught the virtues of being prim and proper, of not showing interest in boys. They are told that brains are more important than beauty, and that good girls should only have eyes for their books and time for healthy co-curricular activities like drama and netball....This school is legendary for it - so well-known that if you hazard a guess, the first school that comes to mind would probably be the right one." Hmm.. Dare I dispute that? The maiden spoke at 1:57 PM
