👩‍🎓 Single-sex schools—progressive choice or charmingly outdated tradition? 🏫

In this episode, César & I take a deep dive into British single-sex education—those schools where boys & girls are kept apart for (supposedly) better focus, higher grades, and fewer distractions.

As a former teacher in an all-boys school, I share the surprising behaviours I observed, while César compares it to his own experience in co-educational Spanish schools. Together, we explore:

🔍 Do single-sex schools actually lead to better academic results?
🎭 The impact on social skills, confidence & gender dynamics
📚 Are these schools preparing kids for real life—or shielding them from it?
👨‍🏫 My personal experience with misogyny in all-boys education

💡 Join the debate! Do you think boys & girls should be educated separately?
