Some people even here like to pretend feminists are for equality.

If any of them are about perhaps they'd like to explain to me why feminists still go on about education as if it's sexist against girls?

This article suggests the situation has been unchanged for nearly a century. This is at odds with other research I've read that suggests there has been a near reversal (in gender achievement) in the last 50-60 years.

It is also worth noting that today grades do not correlate with achievement as well as they should. It was shown recently that a significant proportion of female teachers were linking classroom behaviour with grades and marking down unruly students (who were mainly boys).

This article seems like an attempt to dismiss the crisis in education which based on my wide reading on the subject is very real.

well yeah, female teachers grade boys lower, and school has been feminized. The highest academic achievement is male only private schools is it not? lets not forget the Ritalin haze either.

bear in mind that most of these grades rely what is mostly rote learning and memorization which is enabled by the ability to tolerate monotonous tasks, willingness to conform and the ability to sit still for long periods without becoming restless and losing concentration.

Women and girls are better suited to this kind of environment which helps explain the discrepancy.

If there's any truth to this, then it should be a clear indication that what current education techniques are not proper way to teach material to boys. If you can't properly make 50% of your students learn your material, then there's something wrong with your method.
