Simple, dear, my father has been working in the educational system since 1963, first as a high school teacher for 25 years & then now is still teaching as a professor at a major university... and he's been explaining to me for 15 years now how ALL of the educational standards have been lowered to accomodate girls & minorities. Don't even take his word for it- you've got to stop being so tiny minded and realize that the U.S. ranks very, very low in education on an international scale!

I really wanted to stay out of here, but this is too funny. You say standards have been lowered to accommodate (that's two m's, hun) women, and yet men are now the ones lagging behind.

Also, it should be noted, that many cultures that continue to treat their women like dirt are not exactly excelling in education either.

Perhaps you should put a little more stock into those worthless liberal arts educations and improve your English skills before taking it upon yourself to reeducate us.

I knew someone was going to bring that up- do I have teach you everything? Public primary schools have become extremely hostile to boys- treating them as behaviorial problems for simply behaving as boys-hostile female teachers pressuring parents and school officials to put them on Ritalin for deacdes, etc., while the curriculum has become banal empty drivel with no substance or real world application- more suited for girls. This is why boys have lost interest in school as a whole starting in primary and are falling behind. But in the end it is a hollow 'victory' for girls because now the schools in the U.S. are a joke.

As far as cultures who treat their women as second class citizens and have a far better educational system than the U.S.- I guess you forgot about 25% of the world's population- China. Maybe you should slow down on gender studies along with worrying about pettiness like my typos- then maybe you would achieve more in life than moderator for a message board forum.

Female teachers are not hostile to all boys, again, you're generalizing. Female teachers are hostile to boys AND GIRLS that are stubborn and unwilling to follow the rules.

Also, are you in any position to say which curriculum is more suited towards a gender? By the way you're typing, it's evident that you're not. Males aren't falling behind either, I see many males succeeding in school, and this is because they have respect for all teachers (male or female) and all curriculum choices whether they're suited for them or not. No curriculum is going to be suited to each individual student, it's unavoidable, unless a student has a private tutor. Every gender/race puts up with it, so it's not causing males to fall behind. It's all about the person's attitude. The reason China has such a wonderful education system is because those children slave to be in those top schools, they work hard because they have to. Both Chinese males and females study hard to get in these schools because they don't have the opportunities we have here. It makes sense.

Also, what makes your life accomplishments so wonderful that you must put down others whom you know nothing about besides being a "moderator on a message board forum". Trolling said message board forum is just as much as an accomplishment as being a moderator.

edit:

I'm sorry, but how old are you? You sound like you're about 12. I don't converse with children on line. Either that, or you are so deeply confused that it would take years of re-education just to get you up to speed as a functional adult. Just to untangle the mountain of misconceptions you have here would require you to read a stack of books.

Are you saying this because you're afraid to respond to what I said because you have no semi-legit response? Who cares if I'm 12? Every age has an opinion.

I knew it.

I knew it.

If you honestly believe I am 12, I think you need to go pick up a book.

Edit: Also, why no counterarguments? I think someone's afraid of the truth.
