Poor boys are falling behind poor girls, and it's deeply troubling
h/t InstapunditIt’s become a fact of American life that girls are better than boys at school. They get better grades. They’re suspended less. For every generation since the boomers, women have been more likely than men to earn high school and college diplomas. ...There are many theories for this widening academic achievement gap, but first, here’s another observation that might shed some light: The differences between boys and girls are largest among the most disadvantaged children. Socioeconomic status does not entirely explain the gender gap. Even well-off boys struggle to compare to well-off girls. But a tough upbringing sets boys back much farther. Expected any different in schools run by third wave feminists? Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2017-11-26 |
