(110,159 posts)but the teachers and adm more educated in differing teaching styles being even more of a benefit to our boys today, than yesterday.
and yes, they paddled the butt. saying the words is not advocating for spanking. i dont/did not spank. first private school kids went to they paddle. i was sure my kids would never be in that position to be paddled. and i was sure to tell superintendent and principle no one paddled my boys. ever.
but still, the bottom line question was not answered. why, with the system certainly no better in the past and the education not taught in a differing manner, were men graduating at overwhelming rates above the women, and today the system more tailored to individual children and our boys, with supposed different learning styles for the boys that are again supposedly doing less well.
i personally do not think there is a major shift in success of college as much as girls are just rising in the number of success, making it appear the boys are not doing as well.
BUT.. having two boys, and my priority being my boys, i am ALWAYS open to what will help and be best for ALL children.
that is why i speak up. from what i see the shifting of blame to teaching and classroom style is not really where the problem is and will only further harm our boys, giving them an out when we really need to focus on the real problem.
and yes, i am pretty damn sure your posts were meant for just more peddly pitiful call out. and i too am tired of it. so i will not reply to the next reply.... this is all yours.
