Standardized testing reveals big gap in writing

CJ writes " Of course little is mentioned in the article
(it would be the reverse if girls were behind). Girls are out performing boys in writing ability by large percentile differences. Federal focus on education has been to eliminate the small gap in math proficiency that boys have over girls, while girls are doing 20% BETTER than the boys (as tested in MA) in writing! Here is an actual quote from the article -"We're seeing it (boys doing poorly)in MCAS, SATs, reading and writing - It's a trend we need to pay attention to." A trend we need to pay attention to!!! What a stupid understatement, I’m sure that they will find a nice feminist solution to the problem. School systems must become boy friendly again and allow programs that interest boys. Right now masculinity is considered a pathogen, as the lesbian-feminist agenda continues to pummel normal and marginal boys into ignorant submission."
