Since the 1970s we've improved education of girls, but boys are failing in record numbers
We've done a good job building the self-esteem of girls in school, and it's young women who hold a strong majority of those: in college; in grad schools; and getting the highest grades. However, and I say this as a guy with two daughters and a granddaughter, we're doing a lousy job with boys--they are failing to meet basic education standards, in record numbers. When we overproduce uneducated boys, only bad things can happen (they make poor spouses, fathers, and workers). Surely this great nation can educate both genders. https://teachmag.com/why-boys-arent-learning/ https://www.city-journal.org/article/where-the-boys-arent https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9981173/White-boys-group-fall-places-university-numbers-drop-10-seven-years.html
