Education for Boys

This report from the BBC is interesting. It claims that the way school's and exams work now is geared towards traditionally female characteristics. IMHO there is truth in what they say, partially borne about by the higher results schieved by girls (although the reasons behind this go far deeper) and I suspect that greater emphasis on exams at the expense of coursework would help boys more than girls. But what it doesn't mention is the leaning towards boys in SAT exams, where they tend to use traditionally male subject matter as a way of boosting scores for boys. Ask a Year 6 teacher.

I am sure that some feminists will disagree with this - but boys are different from girls.
