Equal Opportunity

In my high school, it did not matter what sex you were to be in different types of classes. For example, you did not have to be a boy to be in the lifting class or a girl to be in the sewing class. Also, it did not matter whether you were a boy or a girl to be in an AP class or even traditional class. Both males and females were in my classes which ranged from honors as well as AP. Both males and females also had to take the same mandatory classes as well as take the same tests. It did not matter what sex you were. Everyone was given the same chance to play sports. Girls could wrestle and play football if they so chose to and boys could cheerlead. Also, everyone had the same choice as to where they wanted to sit in the cafeteria. There was no boy table or girl table. You did not need to be a boy to sit with the football players or a boy to sit with the volleyball team.
There is one thing that did differ slightly between males and females regarding treatment and dress code. Girls were more likely to get in trouble for wearing clothing that went against dress code – a short skirt for example. On the other hand, boys were more likely to get in trouble if they acted out – a fight for example. The penalties would be harder on a boy than a girl, probably because girls fighting were less likely for whatever reason. For the most part; however, males and females in my school were given equal opportunity.
