[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So … basically most boys need DEI to compete with girls. Otherwise the girls blow them out of the water.

Mediocre white boys and men were able to succeed despite their mediocrity for hundreds of years. As soon as the tables started to turn, they went MAGA. [/quote]

No, the school system is no longer geared toward the way biology enables them to learn and develop. Instead of active learning, athletics, camaraderie, they are forced to sit for 8 straight hours being yelled at and humiliated by purple-haired women who feel like they finally have control over men. It's pathetic.[/quote]

They are not mistreated by teachers.  They are asked to do things they find boring.  Like writing feelings journal entries in 9th grade English.

The smart kids need alternatives to book learning cramming (including girls).  Like Honors Shop Class/3D Printing.  Unfortunately, the tech programs/ alternative high schools seem to still be offramps that don't lead to 4 year college.[/quote]

DP. My kid never had to write a feelings journal, but she had to analyze Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance for AP Lang a few weeks ago. And they don’t ever have to finish a whole book at home anymore, because, you know, too boring, I guess. Totally biased towards girls, sure. [/quote]

That is the most sexist view on girls. The point isn't about their interests. The point is about biology and how it tends to make boys need more active learning and girls have a greater ability to sit quietly in chairs all day. It's not really about TV content.[/quote]

I was responding specifically to the idea that boys would find a feelings journal boring. That’s sexist, too.

And by 11th grade, all college bound kids need to be able to sit in chairs all day.

My kids were certainly never expected to sit in chairs all day in elementary school, though. [/quote]
