Female teachers give boys lower marks 12 Years, 2 Months ago

www.independent.co.uk/news/education/edu...r-marks-6943937.html

A key reason why boys lag behind in the classroom is revealed for the first time today - female teachers.

Ground-breaking research shows that boys lower their sights if they think their work is going to be marked by a woman because they believe their results will be worse.

It also shows their suspicions are correct - female teachers did, on average, award lower marks to boys than unidentified external examiners. Male teachers, by contrast, awarded them higher marks than external examiners.

A situation made worse by the shortage of male teachers caused by paedohysteria.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Headlines that girls do better than boys'...nonsense of course, history can prove that. Without the male of the species we'd still be living in caves. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Of course, women are the most sexist gender. They project this onto men and claim that we're the ones who are sexist. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
