Boys, books and awkward assemblies

All girls schools- uncensored Author: Sanah Imran An inside look on the crazy fanatics of an all girl school, including all the inside information on what goes on at lunches and in class. The first thing that was brought up was the boy issue, yes there are absolutely no boys.This is mentioned to be a good thing as girls do not have to worry about what they wear or how they look. Who do they have to impress? Most girls do not know the same boys, as they only have chance to see them outside of school or at socials. Besides you get used to not having boys around. It gives you the chance to focus on school, and not on what boy stared at you when. One of the main purposes of an all girls school is to keep girls focused, and this has helped dramatically. Statistics show that girls in an all girl school are most likely to become engineers or architects. This is amazing! Going to an all girl school can be very rewarding, you build different kind of relationships than you usually would in a different environment. You build sisterly bonds that will not be broken easily. In an all girls learning environment girls are not afraid to express themselves, they can grow as a person and be themselves without worrying about who is watching. They can ask stupid questions without getting laughed at, aas most girls were probably thinking the same thing!! I loved this article but I think more information could have been given about the school itself.

  13. You did a great job of talking to the class. You seemed like you weren't afraid to talk in front of the class and had a great volume so everyone could hear you talk.

  14. I liked your topic and I liked how you were obviously prepared. I loved how you gave your own story instead of the author. You are obviously good at speaking in front of people, NEVER LOSE YOUR ACCENT! I was a little confused on what your point was for telling this story so if I had to change anything that would be it. Otherwise very nice job you did great.

  16. This was a really cool PLN Bianca. I thought that you gave such an awesome presentation on a topic that I've always wondered about. I thought that you gave so much insight on it and I though that it was really cool how you gave your own story. In your presentation you said that you proved your teacher wrong, and I was really wondering what you did to prove your teacher wrong. What were you guys doing?

  21. I liked how you got the attention by asking if we wondered how life was in a all girls school. Also how you gave us your side of a story.

  22. I really liked how you told it from your perspective and you didn't do it from the authors point of view. I liked how you showed us photos of what you were talking about.

    1. The way we had to treat them with respect mostly. I was taught as a young girl to treat adults with respect, no matter who they are or what you think of them

  30. Bianca,
    Your voice is so beautiful! You definatly kept the crowd engaged not just because of you accent but your tone, pictures, sarcasm, and life story. Your story is so cool and you fit it in PERFECTLY with the rest of your presentation. I loved it! It was absolutely great!

  31. WOW favorite PLN yet! I really agree with you! I feel exactly the same about being with all girls. Even at camp when we have sister and brother camps. Everyone becomes so close and there is no one to judge them. When all girls are together its so much fun and a lot easier. Not to mention great on your self confidence. I absolutely loved your presentation. I found your story so interesting. I really really loved learning about your old school

  35. I like how open with the class you are. I've always been aware of all boys or all girls schools but I have never known what the differences were. It must have been a big transition for you and I hope that Colorado and Arapahoe grows on you. ;)

  36. It just shows you the differences in foreign education systems. Much more rigid, many more rules. You are pushed more to excel in math and science. It makes me wonder if these tactics are necessary?

    ReplyDelete
  37. What is the biggest difference between the girls at your old school and Arapahoe?

    What do you miss most?

  38. To think about the strict adherence to rules and codes due to violence, assault is something so foreign to us. We take for granted these freedoms we have.
