(46) In this research teachers made remarks about
Anglo-Indian girls and boys which reflected decisions about
which pupils get special "tuition". For example, a man
teacher said, "girls like repetitive work, and are
anxious to please, and they worry more about their work,"
and a woman teacher said, "boys on the other hand have
inspiration and need to be challenged." The option choices
for girls looked bleak, with very few opting for careers
and/or Higher Education. This should be an area of great
concern in Anglo-Indian schools, because when a girl
succeeded it was usually attributed to "her hard work and
consistency" and not good learning habits.

The findings in the field study are also reflected in a
number of studies about women. See, Curries, H. (1990) 'Do
boys really need more help? : An Examination of why so many
boys than girls get special help in Berkshire's Mainstream
Schools.' INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADOLESCENCE AND YOUTH
