| Female Teachers give Boys Lower Marks |
| 2012-11-27 |
| h/t Instapundit Female teachers mark male pupils more harshly than they do their female students, research has claimed. Additionally, girls tend to believe male teachers will look upon them more favourably than female teaching staff, but men treat all students the same, regardless of gender. I wonder if anybody did the stats on ritalin prescription vs. gender |

| #13 Glenmore, as I remember it, them girls had this neat, well ornamented script, while mine looked like crows footprints. My female teacher simply could not read it, so I got C's as a rule, cuz she did not really know if I am right or wrong. The next year, we got a male teach who could read crow and my grades improved to B+. |

| #12 Boys are poorer students and male teachers s*xistly compensate for that by raising their grades. It could even be true, I guess. |

| #11 @Skidmark Maybe there's a connection? |

| #9 I don't remember anybody using ritalin when I was in school. That was a long, long time ago. But they did use the board of education. I had a few meetings with the board myself. Boy, that sucker sure burned the backsides. Ouch! No need for a prescription and the results were immediate. |

| #5 Beso, you mean it the way Camille Paglia said: "If it were not for [mainly old white] men, we'll be still living in grass huts." ? |

| #4 Little boys simply grow up to be old white men. Better to abort or cull them early. Simplifies selective breeding and employment as well. Remember, only in a true matriarchate can the overall numbers and global human footprint be kept to an acceptable level. |

| #3 The problem here is that the education industry, especially its female contingent, has defined the word "boy" to mean "defective girl". Thanks, feminists and cultural marxists. |

| #1 Ritalin is the drug of choice. I know of some classes where two thirds of the students are on Ritalin. The problem then later is other drug use. Just say no to drugs is no longer taught. Yes, and boys are targeted but I don't know the numbers on them. Zombie students. Boys cannot be boys. |
