Reported on all News today
and debated Live on Ch5HD AM who stated that Girls may get higher Education but the next busy years The lads over take them, and get on the Ladder of Work. Bank Managers - mostly men for example. Its been like this for many years Last edited by arista; 25-08-2016 at 04:31 PM. |

True facts: there are more highly / genius level intelligence males (like me and you Arista) but also more males with very low intelligence (like Kirk, LT etc), whereas females tend to cluster around average or just-above-average intelligence (like Livia, Ammi, Kizzy, Niamh etc).
This means that in standardised tests such as GCSE's, pass (requiring average intelligence) results skew towards females. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 25-08-2016 at 05:14 PM. |

girls mature earlier than boys and so tend to put more effort in to their early education than boys. Simple really.

What I said above is true also though, though not in the extremes I might have made out. There's a more scattered range of intelligence with boys than with girls. You will of course get very intelligent and seriously challenged pupils of both genders, but across a wider population, there are more "above average" intelligence males than females and at the same time more "straight up thick sorry" males than females... with females instead tending to be clustered around the "slightly-above-average" range across the board. |

This is definitely down to a class thing imo, I grew up in a not so "good" area and if you were good at school you were a swat or a nerd etc where as I live in a pretty "good" area now and the attitude is miles a part, the kids are almost competing with eachother to see who can do best and you'd be more likely to be made fun of for being thick. Completely different attitudes and values. I can definitely see how it happens that kids in poorer areas under achieve compared to kids in more affluent areas

Teaching in general needs to be pushed more as a career imo A big problem is that wages are so bad for teachers and especially in secondary schools anyone who's really intelligent and would make an excellent teacher have no motivation to get into teaching which is a sad state of affairs when it's such an important job really. My brother for example is fantastic at Maths and he always wanted to be a teacher but in the school he went to because he was getting such high marks they really pressured him to study something "better" than teaching and this is what you're dealing with. He ended up qualifying as an engineer, hating it and going back to become a Maths teacher anyway

the sex of the teacher is irrelevant to which sex excels in early education, pure baloney.

No he's actually partly right there on this occasion, primary schools are desperate to recruit male teachers... But very few men become primary school teachers.
My daughter's school has just two male teachers out of about 15, a lot of schools have none at all. One of them does look like a slightly chubby John Snow though, so that's a bonus. |

To be fair I don't think it's a new thing, my primary school only had one male teacher (a p6/7 teacher) and I never had him, I think he left when I was in p4. Had plenty of male teachers at high school and remember finding it weird at first.

I think girls are just more likely to be academically minded.

I have to say though I'm really happy with how my son was taught all the way through primary, I don't think him being taught by a female teacher was any disadvantage for him

I had one male teacher in Primary School, he was a PE teacher mainly and he was awfully stereotypical. Put me off PE for years until Secondary School when I had some good PE teachers that made it tolerable.
I don't think the gender of the teachers matters in all honesty though. |
