because 90% of teacher are girl! or because since 1980 all the teaching method used by teacher are designed for girl learning style and none are designed for boy learning style! Because there are no incentive for boy to work hard and get good grade because they never receive praise for good work.

> since 1980 all the teaching method used by teacher are designed for girl learning style Can you be more specific and support the assertion that there exist gender-based learning style differences? Maybe there are; maybe there aren't. But an evidence-free claim such as this benefits no one. > [Boys] never receive praise for good work. Again, wildly unsupported claims, while apparently welcome on many social media pl…

are you a girl ? Assuming you are not, its not hard to find lot of research paper on the subject but in general males tend to be visually and tactually stronger than females whereas females are stronger auditorially. This is a well known fact.

Also spend more than 1 hours in any elementary classroom and just count how many time the teacher praise the boys vs the girl. You will quickly reach the same conclusion.

wtf?

It's a female dominated industry. It should be seen as a problem just like it is for male dominated industries.

Nah. I think the critique for male-dominated industries is also focusing on the wrong things.

Evolutionary biology plays a big role in this. So it would be more efficient to focus on how to architect environments for everyone to focus on their strengths & use biologically dictated social structures. Sure they can be overthrown, but it only works as long as the environment is stable (at least in the short run).

Finding mechanisms that make our fundamental „truths“ (even if they seem outdated from a political POV), is more stable. Not saying i have the solution, i do believe, we shouldn‘t artificially punish, but rather find ways to encourage & build on that fundament.
