philmophlegmWe held the fourth heat of You're Hired! yesterday at Estover Community College.
They did very well too, with a higher percentage of interested participants and a very low percentage of 'couldn't be bothereds' - just two or three out of 62 students.
We have another six finalists for the city final at the Plymouth Guildhall on June 19th. Five girls, one boy.
So far, out of our 24 finalists, only five are male. I mean, ok the first two schools we went to were girls' schools, but we only managed one boy at a mixed school and only four out of six finalists were boys at a boys' school!
Would anyone care to suggest a theory as to the relatively poor performance of 16 year old boys in business challenges?
