[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers in Italy (and in other countries) give higher grades to girls than boys in math, even when the boys score better on anonymous standardized testing.  This impacts higher level education choices and vocation in the future.

What part of a grade is based on behavior and manners, absenteeism, showing your work, following directions, or not turning in work on time? [/quote]

Unclear.

But on the job all those things matter, not just what you manage to turn in at the last minute whilst going about pissing off everyone for weeks. [/quote]

Maybe.  But flubbing the final product but being a pleasant, neat employee won't make your supervisor happy either.  [/quote]

Stop contorting things. The study is on relative test scores versus relative class grades, and not who’s failing or not.

The study noted that boys received higher scores on the standardized math tests but failing grades in their math classes.  Clearly there's a problem somewhere.   The researchers had some ideas but no answers.  So we are free to speculate.

Getting good scores on tests is a useful skill.  As are good classwork, organization, behavior etc.  We don't need to denigrate one.[/quote]
