Hmmph. Maybe Greece will appreciate it. They can sell it back to California in a couple of months >:

You try to do a good deed, gosh!

I want to enjoy my two weeks of not panicking over Greece destroying everything ever now that they used the bridge loan to get out of arrears.

Just got a very nice rainstorm these past couple of days, yep.

Mixed school?

That sounds like it is a special case.

Here we just have schools.

There might be one or two gender-segregated ones, but meh, I haven't really heard of it.

I went to a school that was a former all-girls school.

But that stopped in 1968.

I doubt mixed schools will become the majority any time soon. It's not really an issue, so effort. And those I know who teach in same sex schools definitely wouldn't appreciate the extra task of keeping the hornbags off each other.

There's a private school here in Victoria which is composed of a segregated gender campus up to year 9, and then share a co-ed senior school. The two campuses are, if I recall correctly, directly across the road from each other - our GPS used to get them confused trying to turn in and out when we played hockey against them.

Aye, it was weird for me at first, too. It's easy to forget that before joining the EEC Ireland was just a piss-poor former colony that couldn't afford to provide essential services without the Vatican. S'why the church got so ingrained in society.
