Abstract
The girls’ view of schooling would not seem to differ from the boys’ in many respects. Where girls do have a distinguishable response is in areas relating to institutional control and discipline; and in classroom interaction, where sex‐typing and peer group have an impact. The girls’ comments also highlight the importance of the combination of sex and stream in establishing expectations of a pupil. Their awareness of the contradictions and discontinuities in school life suggests, however, that school is an incomplete reproducer of social and sexual divisions in society.
