Sydney's Daily Telegraph Covers Maths Crisis Without Actually Mentioning Boys

Our boys are falling behind in education at an alarming rate, we know that already. One area where this is starting to show up is the shortage of Math Teachers.

How so? Because Maths is traditionally a male area. By failing our boys the education system is actually shooting itself in the foot. We are not producing educated boys so we are not producing Maths Teachers. It is that simple. Yes of course women also teach maths, but educated women have so many choices these days Maths is seldom one of them.

Sydney's Daily Telegraph has managed to do an editorial about the shortage of Maths Teachers without once mentioning that it is boys who are falling behind. Rather it ends with a call for a new program to be put in place to encourage (girls) to take up mathss.

No boys crisis at the Telegraph. Copy of the editorial and commentary here.
