From LIZA SANDELL
It is rather quaint that the schoolboys of Sherborne are taking their
roles as future family breadwinners so seriously (Letters, 19 May). Before
getting too disheartened, I would advise Isaacson to do a quick poll of
the sixth-form girls at Sherborne. He may well find that plenty of girls
not only do not relish the prospect of being supported, but are also willing
to contribute to the cost of raising kids. After all, we are supposed to
be encouraging more girls to become scientists too, are we not?
