[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to say this is so infuriating and it' reminds me why I hate the HS stem magnet concept.  This guy doesn't know genius he's an efeing HS teacher. Anyway, STEM doesn't require genius, it's just hard work that any sensible person could do.   But so many people (Mostly boys) get into the math because of the outsized praise.  Universities aren't just better at teaching the material they're also more clear eyed about what math ability actually is. There are issues everywhere but things improved for me after HS. Horrifying this happened so recently.[/quote]

This is true. But somehow the young men that show up for these programs often label women as incompetent - might start with arsehole teachers in high school? Pathetic![/quote]

And the teacher was a product of the same, no doubt.  I didn't experience anything this overt although I knew about letchy teachers (talking other side of the country now).  But the attitude amongst male classmates was bad.  As with so many problems getting out of HS was the answer for me.  I'm just really horrified that this was going on in 2013, I knew it happened 30 years ago.

I'm not saying burn down the magnets. I'm just seeing the hyper-specialization is rife for abuse.  Perhaps five years and a retirement solved the problem. I'm also concerned that my kids' principal is mixed up in this.  I like her, I hope she did the right thing, but I'd like to know more.[/quote]
