Did you know recent government data shows that Hispanic and Native American women are now more likely to attend college than white men?

@Kwek00 that is easier said than done when From the earliest grades, our schools do a better job educating girls.

@WeighedDown I find that a strange statement... are girls in some way educated seperatly? Or are girls just doing better in the same class that guys attend too?

@Kwek00 in short the boys get better grades when the teacher does not know the gender of the person taking the the test.

@WeighedDown You know... "bias" is a thing. I'm following evening classes now, to get a degree that allows me to be in front of a class in my country. And in every class, teachers advocate to close of the "names" of students when you correct stuff.

However... certain courses like "math" for instance... has nothing to do with interpretation. Your sollution is either wrong or good. 🤷‍♂️

And bias also isn't nescesarily a gender thing? What kind of people are teaching over there?

And in my personal experience (as well as the 12-18 as the 18-24 as my evening classes 28-32 and now my other evening classes 36-37 year old) ... Most women in my class just want to do better, while most males are just: "well if I have enough to pass, I have enough to pass". Most females in the classes that I've been in... really want to perform and be the best. That tendency seems (only anekdotal experience) to be way less prevalent in all the males I've been with in classes.
