MATHS IS THE BEST
In the top class at Medbury School, maths is the most
popular A-level . Of the 55 students,
28 have chosen to
the exam. And of these 28,
10 have chosen to follow not one but two of the three
available A-level .
Nor is this anything new. Maths regularly more pupils than other
A-levels,
subjects such as sociology or English, which traditionally were more
usually by girls – for Medbury is a girls' school.
This interest must be the importance that is given to maths at the
school.
However, the , Olivia Lake, finds that many 11-year-old girls
she interviews as
part of the test say maths is their favourite
subject. "In the old days, girls
were not given much if they wanted to
do maths, especially in co-
educational schools. But in a single sex school
today, they are definitely not pressured
to avoid a involving maths. I
am sure that this how the girls
perform in the subject."
Student Susan Hill up the success of the Medbury method: "In my
mother's
day maths was a dry subject, and the teacher had to make
the
subject by having a nice personality. But that's no longer true. Girls
get interested in the
subject itself and want to well."
