I mean the basic procedures: the factory model of large, collective classes, desks, rote learning, a high prioritization of auditory learning, with some verbal but very little kinesthetic...and so on. Boys struggle with all that, statistically. But it's also what most people in the world know as "standard" educational practice.Belinda wrote: My reply to Immanuel:

Often true.If you refer to curriculums those are dictated by law to a large extent.
Do you imagine that girls are inherently less interested than boys in science , is that the problem?
Statistically, right now, they seem to be. In my country, for example, women are not only welcomed into STEM subjects; they are embraced. The standards are rearranged to as to increase their admissibility, and upon graduation, they are prized for employment. But we cannot seem to get young women to choose those subjects in the numbers we would like. And that's not because of discrimination, because the discrimination is all IN FAVOUR of that happening; they just don't seem to want to choose it as often as boys do.
You can ask them why yourself. I'll bet they won't say, "Because the boys make me feel bad." I'll bet they say, "That's not as interesting to me as...."
You'll have been limited by what they provided you, and by what you were legislated or contracted to do. That's the reality for all teachers.As to method I taught my students and pupils according to their individual needs as all decent teachers do.
Ridiculous: you cannot possibly be serious. The "Trump Administration" has been in power for less than a week. There's no reasonable way you could attribute anything at all to them.There still exists a glass ceiling for women (Trump administration! )and there is even a social class bias. It's an uphill struggle to make employers observe equality laws.
Heck, "the Wall" hasn't even got underway yet.
If there is any governmental bias, put it at the feet of the guy in power for the last two terms. But I wouldn't even blame him, because it's just not true it's any "uphill struggle" to "observe equity laws." In fact, you get prosecuted if you don't observe them.
It's uneven, alright: it's massively tilted in their favour. But they still won't stop making the choices they make.Women make those choices because the playing field is uneven.
Interesting, isn't it, how people are all in favour of women's "choice," until it turns out that their "choice" doesn't always fit the liberal narrative. Then their "choice" somehow is interpreted as the fault of "patriarchy"...a bogeyman that no longer exists, at least in the West.
Oh, that's fuuuuunnny! Wow. If you had any idea....Regarding the work women must do to gestate, labour at giving birth, and breast feed infants there is no comparison with what the fathers must do at those times. You seems to have led a sheltered life unaware of perinatal mortality in the developing world and among the world's poor on the whole.
But I can forgive you: you don't know me at all.
No. But I would not State-subsidize either single motherhood or undiscerning promiscuity and the murder of infants. A person's reproduction is their own business, unless they hurt someone else -- like their partner or their unborn child.What would you have, Immanuel, minimal care for mothers?
Henry's right about this: they need to make responsible decisions about dating, mating and child-rearing, and pay for them themselves. It's not rightfully the State's burden to bear. Don't reproduce if you can't handle the responsibility, whether you're a man or a woman: it's that simple. Henry doesn't want to pay taxes for their choices...but who would? It's not just.
Reflect? It's statistically around 2% of the "terminated" pregnancies that have either medical or criminal justification. The rest are essentially elective, at the will of the woman in question. We can really only talk about the 98% in these terms, but 98% is enough for a reasonable generalization. Exceptions can be dealt with exceptionally.Also do reflect on seduction, rape and incest in all of which the woman is the victim of the conception event.
I said "power". I mean any and all forms of power over others which result in who gets the best deals.
Then "power" must mean "women." They have the preponderance of the numbers and democratic power, most of the laws in their favour, the educational system on their side...they have most of "the best deals." The things in which they still don't have "the best deal" have to do with physical power and factors inherent to being female...but not to social arrangements, which mostly favour women, at least in the West.
