Horse Sense

Is it true that female horses cannot be trusted to run with males in races because they are too skittish and unreliable. Punters wouldn't put a penny on them. There are separate races for female horses called something like maiden stakes I believe. Interesting...

A friend's child got a hamster. It was female and apparently they are more aggressive and bite frequently. I draw no human parallels of course...

But .. there are studies which show that boys and girls do better in single sex schools. When you are a 14 year old male and the girl sitting in front of you in class has a micro skirt on and plunging neckline your first interest is hardly likely to be the Irish potato famine or the study of sedimentary rocks is it? Go figure. Apparently those in authrority cannot as some of the best schools in Kent have been infiltrated by the female species and school has gone from being a rarefied place of learning to a forlorn place of yearning.
