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.

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 platforms, are a poor fit for HN.

I am old enough to remember when boys outperformed girls in the various levels of school. They complained that the learning styles used favored boys. They then changed them all to ones that favored girls, and then girls started doing better. (Limited physical activity, no competition, focusing on feelings instead of logic, etc)

Now? Well they don't want things to change but they can't deny the stats. The solution? Blame all males for being born inferior and useless. Each top level comment here does exactly that. "Maybe the problem with boys is that they are too much this or not enough that" and so on. As if there was a wave of cosmic rays that only caused damage to XY chromosomes or something.

So what they do is pretend they never made those changes. They pretend girls always did better in school when that is a relatively recent thing. The schools are designed and built for them.

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.

[endofreach]

wtf?

[pitsnatch]

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

[endofreach]

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.
