Some schools are experimenting with all-girls’ classes, especially in subjects such as science and mathematics. Only in this way, they say, can girls get a fair chance to develop, without being distracted or overshadowed by boys, especially in the early teenage years. This approach is supported by recent psychological research that suggests, even if it does not absolutely prove, that women and men have different ways of learning. According to this research, girls and women learn best when they are allowed to share with one another, to explore ideas and problems together, to look for links with what they already know, to pursue hunches and to make driveway gates connections. The research does not say that this way of learning is unique to women or some kind of genetic endowment, but rather that it is something girls learn early in life and is too often ignored in schools. Some researchers believe that it is now possible to identify a way of teaching that suits girls better than boys, which will therefore make them more successful in school.

School staffs are also moving to become models of equality between men and women. For example, more women are being appointed to senior positions, while more men are teaching at the lower grade levels, which have been traditionally dominated by women. All school policies, whether concerning staff or students, are checked to see that they contribute to equality between the sexes. Schools are also doing what they can to ensure that boys and girls treat each other properly. Boys often treat girls unacceptably, ranging from name-calling to touching, especially in the teenage years when they are aware of their sexuality, but increasingly even when they are younger. In particular, they learn sexist ways of talking to and interacting with girls from television and video. Schools are increasingly on the lookout for sexual harassment, to correct it when it occurs and, where possible, create conditions that will prevent it from happening in the first place.
