95. no one is being failed by the education system. boys have been taught being dumb is cool

Mon Dec 3, 2012, 08:46 PM

Dec 2012

it use to be they could get out of high school and find a job that gave them a livable income. not so much today. on the other hands, it is being stressed to girls to get a degree cause there are no other options.

the schools do not fail the boys. not once have i seen where the school has been an issue with my kids education. i pay attention. up to high school, i made sure i was connected with all teachers to ensure my kids did what they were suppose. all the teachers are looking for is parental support. they so often do not get it and instead get excuses for little johnny.

the boys are entering college more than the past, just not as fast ass the girls are.

school does not fail our boys.

society does.

want to have that discussion, i am all for it.
