BBC News - GCSE changes to final exams 'will disadvantage girls'

GCSE's = Exams taken at 15/16 years of age in England.

Further in the article, it is mentioned that Girls have done better than boys in GCSE's for the past 20 years, yet still, girls are the only ones that matter. WTF is this shit BBC?

It's hilarious, what he's saying in any other context would probably be seen as misogyny.

"girls are less confident than boys!" MISOGYNY!

"girls arent as good at exams, so we have to tailor the system around them or MISOGYNY!"

You will NEVER fucking win gender arguments going back and forth like this. Ever. Because the goal posts will ALWAYS be moved

Changes to GCSE examinations in England could disadvantage girls and see their results fall, teachers warn.

Girls have been outperforming boys in GCSEs at grades A*-C for more than 20 years, data shows

Girls outperformed boys for 20 years. Their results must not fall, compared to boys.

All is clear? feminism wants equality /sarcasm

I will never understand why standardized tests are not commonplace. Who gives a shit who passes? Those who pass are good, those who don't are not. Why should sex even be an issue?

Is it going to be discriminatory against girls?

Is the current system discriminatory to boys? The system that girls do best in is the system he wants despite any other reasoning. Damn shame.

What I want to know is why the people who write these articles always insist on going directly to their favorite gender ideologue for their take on whatever the topic may be.

I mean , if we're talking about cars , why would the first person I always talk to about a new model be a transmission specialist ? Or perhaps a new restaurant opens and the first person I go to is a disabled rights activist to get their take on things. Fire at the local school and we'd better find out what neighbourhood dog owners think about the matter.

It's the tail wagging the dog if you think about it.

The question I have is, will the single rote exam result result in improved test scores for boys and decreased scores for girls, or decreased scores for both boys and girls, with the girls affected more.

"Disadvantage" as in, remove some of the advantage that girls already have over boys in the school system? Seems fair to me.

End of course exams are the way to test. Course work is marked by people known to the candidates and is subject to bias. Furthermore, it is not always the candidate's own work, which is a big part of the reason girls profit from the continuous assessment fraud.

An exam does not necessarily test "rote" learning; it depends on what is being tested and how the test is performed.

If equal standards provide inequal results than clearly the problem lies elsewhere...

Girls have been outperforming boys in GCSEs at grades A*-C for more than 20 years, data shows.

Let's flip that:

Boys have been outperforming girls in GCSEs at grades A*-C for more than 20 years, data shows.

However teachers are concerned that new changes may threaten boys supremacy in this regard.

The BBC is ridiculous sometimes - their article on the aria shit or whatever was very poor (they literally call her a 'whistle blower'). Madness, the Guardian is no better.
