Who gives a shit? There are much more important things to focus on, such as teaching boys about their patriarchal privilege and telling them not to rape. Also, some boys have a habit of playing games like "cops and robbers" etc., which encourages toxic masculinity. The real victims here are the female teachers, who bravely risk sexual assault every day just being in the presence of these little monsters.

In all seriousness, we'd probably be better off just scrapping grades entirely and coming up with a better means of assessing progress and achievement. Numerous studies have demonstrated that grades are not an effective means of encouraging critical thinking and interest in learning. They ARE effective in encouraging obedience, docility and conformity, which I guess is the entire point.

I live in Northern Ireland and can actually relate to this a lot. Not really anything about grades but I used to get a really shitty bus to school, and half the mornings I would be late, and I remember another girl who would also be late a lot as well, our form teacher kept marking me down as late, causing them to give me detention after detention while the girl kept getting "well, it's not your fault." I also remember another time when an English teacher decided to split the class up, the front half of the class was girls and at the back was the boys. Luckily though, we just forgot about it and sat wherever we wanted to.

But, the Feminists tell me that sexism against men doesn't exist! How could they be wrong!

OH MY GOSH I had a teacher do this to me. My mom AND dad had to talk to her on separate occasions to finally discover she was marking me down because "boys shouldn't get used to getting good grades"

Our public education system fucking sucks for dozens of reasons, being geared towards female learning early on is just one of them.

On top of being sexist, they are also racist. Awesome.

As an old boy of an all boys secondary college, I can safely say that it was not the case at my school. Hell, teachers would pass you if you could just show you knew the material, and it was probably an even split between men and women

Australian FYI

So they're comparing female teachers in classes with both boys and girls in them, then seeing how they mark for similar work.

What they're looking at is: if boys and girls are in the same grouping, are the female teachers marking the boys down to benefit the girls in the same class?

The answer, according to this, is yes: female teachers are giving preferential treatment to girls in their classes, and negative treatment to boys in those same classes. And this is based on the fact that those students treated in a negative fashion are male, which is misandry.

And not just misandry, but an ingrained bias in the women's culture that they came from, since it's unlikely that these teachers are all feminist identifying types. So the bias has to be something they were raised with, rather than later acquired through feminism.

This is terrible. One time, I had a marker and my friend Timothy stole it and started to use it every single project in our English class. I was so mad because I bought the marker from Walmart with my other friend Paul. One day I saw Timothy using my marker and I asked him to give it back but he just laughed and kept doing his art project which was a diorama of the pilgrims on the Mayflower ship. I kicked his project which made the teacher come over and tell me that I was not being a good boy. That's when I realized I needed Mens Rights.
