Girls to do better than boys in ‘calculated grade’ Leaving Cert exams as gender trends will be built into results

Can you imagine if “white kids“ were doing better than “black kids“? Would the system automatically give more points to white kids?

What if Jewish kids scored better than Muslim kids normally? Would the Jewish kids get more points? Or what if the Protestant kids did better than the Catholic kids?

We will know the answer to these questions, except of course when it’s boys doing less well than girls.

In order to make sure that the standardisation process works, there will be validation - including any necessary re-balancing to preserve girls' advantage on higher grades, as seen in previous years.

"Validation serves to ensure that the statistical standardisation process is presenting results that are as fair and equitable and in line with previous outcomes as much as possible," Ms Foley said.

Ahhh "equity" over equality.

Forced equality is oppression no matter how you swing it. Shit like this is why Fascism is on the rise.

Not surprising at all. When you consider the feminist dominance in education policy and development, this is just a natural expression of feminism in leadership. Always favour women and girls over men and boys, and always load the dice in favour of women and girls. Feminists all know that girls are smater than boys, so they make sure that is expressed in education outcomes.

The real question is how far can the gender hatred that is ruining out schools and colleges go, before the community says, thats enough. How many boys and men will suicide, or disengage from society before people wake up to the damage this misandry is doing to innocent children.

I must say that this is terrifying for someone who is still in grade school...

How is it legal or justifiable to alter kids test grades, or weight them at different rates

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

The calculated grading system being used for this year's Leaving Certificate has been designed to ensure that overall girls will do better than boys.

The exams system is supposed to be blind and anonymised, but the gender of students will be taken into account, the Irish Independent has learned.

"Ms Foley said in her written reply to Sinn Féin TD Donnchadh Laoghaire:"The purpose of the calculated grades system is to arrive at the grade each student would have achieved if the Leaving Certificate examinations had taken place as normal.

The score is calculated, predicted grades, school, previous markes all used etc... THEN if you are a boy mark goes down, if you are a girl mark goes up... put it this way, would you do this on race (e.g. mark goes down for certain races, up for some), or would you do this to lower girls grades? No there would be world war 3... this however, will not even make the Guardian or be talked about.... any discussion will ONLY be focused on race, class, private school etc...

Its like when a document for COVID beds in ICU got leaked.... you get points, too many points means I think it was 6, means no bed.... men of any age were automatically given a point just for being male as were elderly.... EVERY single newspaper without fail ONLY mentioned agesim etc, not a single one mentioned gender at all, even in passing.

Also its part of wider bias in education:
