Data Shows Boys and Young Men Are Falling Behind

I think he means this:

"From an early age, girls are taught to earn better grades than boys."
"Or can our boys simply not meet the same behavioral standards as girls?"

Why would boys be able to meet the same standards as girls? As adults, men cannot meet the same behavioral standards as women. Men commit over 90% of violent crime and sexual assault.

You don't think they're taught this is acceptable as boys? What other explanation is there?

Men are simply worse people than women. They're less intelligent, less educated, and more violent.

Black women commit murder at a higher rate than white men - it is not a gender issue.

Black women: 5.7/100,000
White men: 3.0/100,000

Stats are real - not emotional arguments which is all liberals have.

@#11 ... I know you won't actually read them so don't ask for more until you do. ...

That comment seems to be self-contradictory. But there it is.

Anyway, that aside ...

The www.amacad.org link - Sorry, we can't find the page you want.

The www.ascd.org link seems to agree more with the comment your current trolling alias disagrees with, than the disagreement your current trolling alias presents. Indeed, the article seems to present quite the contrary viewpoint that your current trolling proffers.

Of course, that leads me to ask, did your current trolling alias even read that article?

Well...the ol' "white man's burden"...

...My, how things have changed.

(and, FWIW, Ol' Robson's hilarious!)

Then there's this .... related?

Young men are leading a religious resurgence
www.axios.com

... Christianity is starting to make a comeback in the U.S. and other western countries, led by young people.

Why it matters: A decades-long decline has stalled, shaping the future of Gen Z, the drivers of the religion revival.

- - - "We've seen the plateau of non-religion in America," says Ryan Burge, a political scientist at Eastern Illinois University. "Gen Z is not that much less religious than their parents, and that's a big deal."

By the numbers: Data from Pew shows that, for decades, each age group has been less Christian than the one before it.

- - - Americans born in the 1970s are 63% Christian. 1980s babies are 53% Christian, and 1990s babies are 46% Christian.

- - - But there was no decline from the 1990s to the 2000s. Americans born in the 2000s are also 46% Christian.

Stunning stat: Gen Z-ers " especially Gen Z men " are actually more likely to attend weekly religious services than millennials and even some younger Gen X-ers, Burge's analysis shows.

Between the lines: Young men are leading American's religion resurgence. ...

@#15

My first question on the topic would be along the lines of ...

Has the politicization of religion, i.e., in the US the right-wing Christian effort, been the attraction?

"Young men are leading a religious resurgence"

Young men are adopting a world view that overstates their importance and rationalizes their butt-hurt selfishness.

They ain't being religious like Jimmy Carter!

@#16

... and as a follow-up question ...

If Pres Trump wants to revoke Harvard university's tax exempt status because he thinks it is political, then should we also revoke the tax-exempt status of the religious sects in which the Pasotrs preach political sermons?

"Has the politicization of religion, i.e., in the US the right-wing Christian effort, been the attraction?"

Attraction is not the right word to describe the mindset of someone who is being groomed.

Gangs and prey on people who don't have better options in society. Groomers offer emotional support and friendship to the outcast.

Men grew up thinking the world owed them a job and a career are victims all right. Victims of their own mythology. They groomed themselves on "Masculine culture" like Joe Rogan. They self-radicalized listening to Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump.

As adults, they are malcontent but they have been conditioned to believe it's always somebody else's fault.

They are the Alpha Victims.

@#17 ... They ain't being religious like Jimmy Carter! ...

Speaking of fmr Pres Carter ...

When he became President, he put his business, the peanut farm, into a blind trust. He did not try to profit off of his occupancy of the Oval Office for the benefit of that blind trust.

Has Pres Trump put his businesses into a blind trust?

Here is the live link for this article: direct.mit.edu

The main point of this article is the shift in learning to inclusive/team methods of learning which are better aligned with female learning styles. This has been a major goal and trend in US education. If you want more detail in this actually occurring, you can refer to The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) show a growing emphasis on collaborative learning in U.S. K-12 schools.

The entire point of the article is about how teachers need to make the classrooms more inclusive for females and to increase the harshness on grading for males. This not about enhancing male performance in K-12, it is about how to make classrooms more suitable for female learning styles and teacher feedback to encourage that - as well as making it more difficult for males to succeed by asking teachers to re-examine their grading for males.

I recently had a large debate with some of my Korean colleagues on the difference between the Korean education system and the American education system and how the US has switched to these team styles of learning and emphasizing testing to lower the gender gap. Korean takes the exact opposite approach with emphasis on rote memorization and standardized testing and no emphasis on groups which is why I looked into this subject in the first place.

I stand by my comments - the changing teaching style has truly benefited females in the US and their performance materially improved. However, a portion of that improvement came at the expense of males by no longer using teaching styles aligned to male learning styles.
