UK Study: Bad girls less likely to be told off than boys

Story here. Excerpt:

'Boys are five times more likely to be told off in a primary school class than girls even though they are just as likely to misbehave, according to new research.

They are also less likely to be praised or picked to answer a question, despite raising their hands just as often as girls, it is claimed.

The "prejudiced" views of some teachers could be damaging boys' self-belief, it is feared, causing them to do badly at school...

...Dr Swinson said that this "prejudice" could explain why girls get better exam results than boys. "Perhaps some boys get disenchanted with lessons because they are being told off too much," he said.'

...that the solution to these problems is NOT to treat boys and girls as though they're from two different species, but rather to treat them the same as much as possible. A student (either gender) acts up: say something. A student (either gender) raises a hand, call on him/her. What is difficult about this?

With women having unopposed total control over education, that type of thinking is simply not permitted.

Most women simply don't do fair. Most women have absolutely no concept of fair. Most women simply play favorites. They have done so their whole lives and know of absolutely no other way to do things.

With 85% of all K-12 teachers now women, what is actually happening is that boys are being taught by tall girls with undeserved authority.

Women remain for the most part infantile in the core of their psychology (entitlement princesses) -- what 22 year-old female just-graduated-from-college new teacher is a mature adult? And yet she is given authority over 16 year-old young men in high school? (The sexual tension in the classroom alone would account for boy's poor test scores!

Schools of education attract the least talented students because the salaries in the profession suck.

Then the feminist P.C. culture that criminalizes all men as potential pedophiles weeds out 90% of the few young men in college who might actually want to teach. (Unless they decide to get a Ph.D. and become a university prof, who can keep his office door open every time a female student wants to have a conference with him.)

What part of an actual SYSTEM to erase masculinity are we overlooking?

Quoted for Truth. What many women are -- with a few exceptions -- essentially is 12-year olds in adult bodies. The funny thing is they act like twelve year olds, want to be excused from punishment for their crimes like twelve year olds, but when it comes to money, position, and security they want the benefits of adulthood.

Maybe men should start telling the majority of women what they tell their children that refuse to grow up?: "You want to be treated like an adult? Then act like one."
