Today's ranter has a bone to pick with councillors about the Notre Dame High School decision yesterday. They voted to end the 120 year plus single-sex education at the Hillhead school and now it will open up to boys...

Glasgow Times:

I AM absolutely disgusted that councillors have agreed to allow boys in Notre Dame High School. 
I am a former pupil who travelled by Subway every day from the Gorbals to Hillhead for an education of a high standard, and I feel this is a huge loss to the city. 
I was taught in an environment where young women were given confidence and self-belief – and I am not sure I would be the professional I am today if it weren’t for my grounding at the school. 
I get the counter argument is if you want a single-sex education then you should pay for it but not everyone can – especially for a wee lassie from the Gorbals. 
I understand that there are desperate parents who want their boys to go from Notre Dame Primary to senior school. But the institution of Notre Dame High as an all-girls school has been in existence for more than 120 years – and despite creating a legacy of smart independent women that Glasgow can be proud of – councillors have gone against the status quo.
Notre Dame is a truly remarkable place where I learned the true value of acceptance. 
I mixed with so many people from different classes and ethnicities – and my education and understanding of culture has made me the person I am today.
Preventing a future generation of young Glaswegian women to experience what I did is a big mistake in my opinion.
My rant is over but I am truly gutted that this decision has been made. 
Us former Notre Dame girls will be a true legacy now, and a reminder of times gone by.
