Scholastic achievements

I was reading the Gleaner's 'Top of the Class' publication last Wednesday, featuring students who have excelled in school, whether in CXC exams, A Levels, Grade 9 etc.

Many of the students, if not the majority of high school students, were from Campion College. There were a few from Immaculate, from St Hugh's (my alma mater) from Wolmer's, from some rural schools, but NONE, not one, from St George's College!

Dr D and Mad Bull, what you have to say about that?????

I went to Campion College and must say that it was and still is the best. Coed education is the best!

If I had my life to live over, I would have chosen a co-ed school as well, but I pretty much enjoyed St Hughs

Co-ed has nutten to do with performance in school.

It is the teachers and the discipline that makes the difference. At the time that MB, Scratchie and I went to George's discipline ruled and this was because the school was run by the Jesuit Priests. Most of them were academics. Sadly, many of them have left and the shcool is not quite what it was in our time. Anyway, they have changed the Principal and it seems that some change for the better may come about.

Didnt mean that co-ed= better performance.

I just would have wanted to see some boys around during my teenage years!
