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.

If he would have admitted his lie - I would not have had to repeatedly spike the football in his face. But alas, he still wants to lie because he is so concerned about losing his cosplay character. You liberal -------- should be touched by this - he is so concerned with his cosplay character in your eyes that he will go to any links to try to redeem the character. It is kinda sweet in a moronic kind of way.
