[NMScience] FW: MESA parent institute

[Davis Lee]

When I went through teacher education courses in the late 80s the
on-going crisis/mantra was that girls were being systematically cheated
(boys were rewarded for blurting out the answer, girls were rewarded for
neat handwriting, boys were called upon 4 times as often as girls,
etc...)

It seems we're now looking at least beginning to look at the other side
of the coin.

Of course I did see a bumper sticker in the Sandia High School teacher's
parking lot this morning:

"There are only two things wrong with men: everything they say &
everything they do" 

I guess that's supposed to be funny... wonder how the boys are doing in
her classes ....

A study to be released today looking at long-term trends in test scores
and academic success argues that widespread reports of U.S. boys being
in crisis are greatly overstated and that young males in school are in
many ways doing better than ever.)
