Gender type casting.

Does gender or sexual type casting still exist in modern schools?
That is, do little girls play with tea sets and plastic ironing boards whilst boys play war and cars.
I am led to believe that girls can now study metal shop or woodwork whilst boys can study home economics and dress making.
I only have experience of all-boys schools both through my own education and employment and in such environments, strong male role models are strictly adhered to.
Further if you are a parent, would you be happy for your girl playing Cowboys and Indians (other than playing a domesticated squaw) or your little boy playing in Wendy houses with pink plastic cooking equipment?

My best (girl) friend took woodwork at school, Wardy, and most of my Food Technology class consisted of boys.
Growing up, my cousin, Rich, had his own pram to play with when we all got together. He's now a big ol' rugby player and races bikes for a living. I don't think what you play with as a child has any bearing on what you'll "become" as an adult. :)

For the first few years they all study H.E, textiles and CDT and in schools here, it is compulsory to take the CDT element and the other half is made up of HE or textiles, so there is no choice but to take a traditionally male/female option for your GCSEs.
Also the sports teams at primary school, be it football, netball, hockey, cricket or rugby is a pretty even split between boys and girls.
My eldest son wont touch anything that could be remotely girly where as my youngest is happy to play with dolls, my make up, dressing up etc.
