Teachers mark girls with higher grades for the same assignment.

At primary level 85% of teachers are female. This has remained roughly the same since 2003

Teachers, he says, tend to assess students on non-cognitive, “socio-emotional skills.”

"Socio-emotional skills" lmfao. How do you read this and not hate women

Lol... the article still is predominantly worried about how this effects girls. No mention on what this does to boys either good or bad.

feminism is a sexist movement with sexist results.

it is worsening the gender balance in our society to a harmful degree.

Over then entire OECD countries globally, a large scale study showed that girls were given higher marks for IDENTICAL work to boys. OECD also showed that a boy receives 1/3 higher grade if the teacher does not know he is a boy. Interestingly this gender gap is diminshed when it is a male teacher doing the marking.

I think he is misreporting the "study". What the OECD did is look at PISA test scores (a standardized test taken outside of school) and ask what grade the student got in school from their teacher.

They found that for boys and girls who scored the same on PISA tests, the boys got lower grades in school from their teacher.

They are not saying boys and girls get graded differently for "identical" work, I don't know why the Redditor is saying that. This isn't a study where they take the same work and switch the name.

They are saying girls do better in school than boys who score the same on PISA and then they say it's probably because school rewards behavior.

Per Figure 2.15, I think:

Difference in reading B-G: -4.5

Difference in reading B-G factoring PISA: -3

Difference in math B-G: -1

Difference in math B-G factoring PISA: -1.5

It even says that teachers' bias make them give better math grades to boys and better reading grades to girls, as you can see by the fact that PISA score diminish the gap in reading, but augment the gap in math.

No idea what the Redditor meant. Maybe he's using something else? But the article he links makes no mention of the 1/3.

At my high school graduation, they read the names of the top 5% of the class. I was the only guy whose name was called and when I stood up, all my brethren cheered me on. The bias was definitely real.

In STEM they pass just about every girl they can so they can't get accused of being sExiST. They put girls into groups with guys so the guys can do the work for them.

Male politicians could help fix this by increasing taxes and salaries for teachers and thus making teaching a more lucrative career choice for men, but conservative men don't like higher taxes.

Booyah.

Once in a while there are no rules.

(Well, there are still reddit wide rules. No Breaking THEM or the admins will fuck us up.)

Otherwise go nuts.

For a limited time THERE ARE NO RULES HERE

I had mostly female teachers and lecturers and 2 of my female teachers loathed me and deliberately taught me to spell things incorrectly to pick on me and embarrass me. Then at university, my hardest graders were female and they were hard on everyone. Then at work, women are expected to have more unpaid responsibilities and be more caring (healthcare)

So pay teaching better and attract more male teachers. Your president is a man, our prime minister is a man, and both upper and lower houses are majority male; why aren’t you asking them to do anything about it?

Chads too get extra marks by teachers.

Once you start noticing such things, you can never go back.

Study more, is that hard? So much for women being the weaker sex.
