Why are Men falling behind in schooling ?

Curriculums and marking schemes rewritten to favour girls. Programs introduced to encourage girls in traditionally male fields. Marking bias favouring girls. Predominantly female teachers patholagising normal male behaviours. A society that encourages girls and continually demonised and belittles males. A society in which boys are encouraged to aspire to sporting rather than academic success. Scholarships and grants available to females and not males. Unfair hiring practices that ensure the female will get the stem job ahead of the male. Should I go on?

At least part of it is that the majority of teachers are female and female teachers (on average) grade the same achievement worse if the student is male.

This has been proven in large scale studies.

The teachers, a few years ago I was attending college for an introductory engineering course, and by far my favorite teacher was my English teacher, kinda old school cool, prim and sort of proper, by god did she speak her mind and with a lot more force than most men I know do, and she liked if you did too, that really struck a chord with us guys in that class...she liked having a laugh with us afterward too.

She liked getting the whole class involved in a large heated debate about something, and if a guy was a bit quiet, shy, or reserved then she would really egg him on and encourage him to speak his mind openly without fear, these were not timid subjects either, they were very very sensitive subjects that people tend to shy away from.

I once told her that being in her class was more emotionally exhausting than going to the gym for a few hours and that after her class I always felt like I needed to down a bottle of wine... and she actually loved to hear that as I think her motto is not to make people comfortable, but instead to get them to a point where they could effectively use their own voice. Fantastic teacher.

Went to my osd high school recently. My Son goes there now. The top 10 students in my year were female. Didn't get much better in subsequent years. If the population is 50/50 but all 10 were female, I'd call that statistically significant.

Because society doesn't care about men.

Men are expected to prove that they are worth something, to prove that they should even exist and thus have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps without any help no matter what society and women do to said men.

In the U.S we passed legislation, The Women’s Educational Equity Act with the purpose of influencing education to focus on girls. It worked.

We also see schools offering No Boys Allowed programming.

Higher education has twisted title ix so that males can easily be accused of sexual assault and denied due process. There are various sexual assault prevention programs that paint all men as rapists. Of course smiling at a woman can be considered harassment these days. Colleges have women only spaces, women’s studies classes pushing feminists agenda, more scholarships for women, etc.

It appears if we focus on females and create a hostile environment towards males in education, males fall behind. Imagine that.

Why isnt there a push for more men in colleges

Because any program that is put forward is immediately bashed down by feminists, to such an extent it takes a brave person to do so. Its happening in the UK though, but not without drama

Just speaking for the United States, this is not such a bad thing. 80% of college degree plans are a waste of money, … and a lot of money. In the 20% that isn’t, like engineering and computer science, there is no shortage of men.

Many reasons. College is rough on male students.

Mark inflation because girls get good marks compared to boys(well you know for obvious reasons) . This affects them the most like the society starts judging them

Edit:there are more factors that affect them such as family issues and etc.

They want moee women in buisnesses while we can't get a degree with this. There will never be any advocating for this because of the neoliberal agenda that pushes feminism hard

I think a big part of it is that our primary education, where kids attend kindergarten, puts boys in schools too early. This leads to early discouragement, especially since girls have traits and skills that help them to do well in school.

I think this is like girls in stem. We try to focus on the differences too late and don’t see the actual issues.

cuz most of college is useless lol

benethorpl · 2021-10-01T00:13:56+00:00

it's because men become selfaware long before age 25, which results in men finding out that college is purely optional.

Because sitting still for 6 hours straight is not something boys are genetically built for or sometimes even capable of doing. If we introduced more recess periods I guarantee you we would see more success in school with boys.
