There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

it's not surprising when education is more or less geared towards giving girls an advantage, plus it's hammered into these boy's heads that they're somehow evil just because they have a penis(the original sin of patriarchy), not to mention a lack of entitlement programs.

That's pretty sexist of you. As usual, it's a result of your ignorance of mens issues and your kneejerk refusal to accept that society is actively sexist against men.
Boys are marked lower than girls for the same work.

How about you research things before running your mouth off.

Well, yes. If we assume a equal distribution of scholastic ability across the sexes then there must be a reason or reasons boys are less engaged at school.

One could easily turn that exact argument around against feminism regarding women CEOs and top managers.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

One could.

There were several explanations for the statistics in the article, and I offered another. I'm not assuming it was discrimination based on gender, because there's no evidence it was.

Female Teachers Give Male Pupils Lower Marks, Claims Study

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/02 ... 81236.html

By the way, most teachers are female thanks to the feminist movement and it's demonization of male sexuality, in addition to other things.

Girls trying harder in school is a men's rights issue?

I think the only time women care is when their aren't enough boys on their "level".


another article on the issue
“Girls outperform boys in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and graduate school,” says Dr. Michael Thompson, a school psychologist who writes about the academic problems of boys in his book, "Raising Cain." He says that after decades of special attention, girls are soaring, while boys are stagnating.

“Girls are being told, 'Go for it, you can do it. Go for it, you can do it.' They are getting an immense amount of support,” he says. “Boys hear that the way to shine is athletically. And boys get a lot of mixed messages about what it means to be masculine and what it means to be a student. Does being a good student make you a real man? I don't think so… It is not cool.”


One of the few women I respect, Christina Hoff Sommers, has a few things to say on the matter as well.
Sommers also accuses women teachers of favoring girls over boys. She says they reward classroom behavior that girls find easier, like sitting still, and punish boys for being, well, boys.

“If boys are obstreperous and high-spirited and competitive, which most of them are, this is seen as behavior which is not tolerated. They see that as an expression of a toxic masculinity,” she says.


There's also the matter of boys having a lack of good role models. It doesn't help that a woman can throw the man out on a whim, for the most part, but since most teachers are women as well as the staff, well even if they're good teachers a lack of a good male role model can really fuck up young men.

The article gave one reason that would adequately explain it - the idea that some students are coming to the conclusion that school is not a viable option for their future.

If more male school-leavers are in low income jobs where education proved to be less of a factor, then education is a less attractive option.

Feminisms influence on society has conclusively resulted in female supremacy.
Women have more social mobility than men in all sectors, except the rich, where they have equality.

Congratulations. The apex fallacy in fucking action.

Screaming and shouting and demanding to be equal to an extreme minority of men. You got your wish. So now you need to shut the fuck up and let men have an equality movement.

The data exists, although it's not as simple as often portrayed.

in short, teachers often mark up or mark down students based on nonacademic reasons, and boys who conform to female student expectations get a bonus, while those who are more stereotypically male get graded more harshly.

The article about the study has a misleading title, but the article itself seems to be a 'study' of the grades that students believe they will be given - rather than a study of the actual bias in marking.

Nowhere does it show that the marked work was of equal standard.

Maybe you meant to link to a better source?

From that source:

Male students tend to bet less [money] when assessed by a female teacher than by an external examiner or by a male teacher. This is consistent with female teachers' grading practices; female teachers give lower grades to male students
