Boys graduate high school at lower rates than girls, with lifelong consequences
Associated Press ^ | October 30, 2023 | Carolyn Thompson

They attend the same classes with access to the same programs, and even come from the same families. But girls consistently are outperforming boys, graduating at higher rates at public high schools around the country.

The gap between them is wide, often as wide as the achievement gap between students from affluent and low-income families, a problem that officials have tracked closely for years. But the reasons why boys are falling short are not as clear.

Interviews with students, educators and researchers point to several factors. Men generally can earn the same wages as women with less education. But boys also are more likely to face suspensions or other discipline knocking them off track, and they don’t pursue help as often when they face mental health challenges.

Some boys are fine when they first drop out, landing jobs providing steady incomes. But over the long term, lacking a high school degree can hold men back. Studies show young men who drop out of high school earn less over their lifetimes and are more likely to end up in jail. …

Do the boys then learn a trade and go on to earn more?

Boys are being raised by man-hating harpies and taught by man-hating harpies and that has lifelong consequences.

As long as I have been alive, that has been true...
Why would this be a newsworthy item in the real world?

Boys probably benefit more from homeschooling than girls. I think girls are better adapted to the school setting, where they learn for an hour a subject and then change subjects. Whereas boys are adapted to learn segments completely before moving onto another segment.

Boys need to crack those books and stay out of trouble.

And, 60% of college students are female.

It’s time to end the matriarchy.

Standards must be wrong. Give them boys all a diploma or you’re discriminating!!

High school is really enough education for making one well rounded. Then college is a bunch of fluff to keep professors employed.

Why does, say, a packaging engineer need to study early English literature?

A proper education is, yes.
However, they’ve taken what probably can be learned in 8 years and stretched it to 12 years with 4 years of basket weaving courses.

That’s not to say education should not be 12 years, but it needs to be core material.

Maybe boys, by a given percentage, are more conservative then girls. Thereby, despising the overly “woke” and liberal atmosphere of that whole scene......maybe. (?)

Agreed. I am sick and tired of the toxic female BS that is being tolerated. Society cannot function properly without strong positive males. We need to focus on success based solely on merit and only on merit. Reward good honest hard work.

MGTOW says-

Boys become men, go to work, go to war, or die from “life stuff” like Lava Surfing, swimming with Piranha, or sitting in a chair and drinking too much Tequila on the beach.

Girls stay girls, go from one teat to the next, milk Daddy & home space for every dime, then snare a 6+6+6+ (6ft, 6 Figures, 6” plus tool) for a kid or 2.
Once kids are in school, divorce the Bankroll, take the house, the kids, 1/2 the Bankroll, and force the sale of the collections, plus get a monthly feeding vig from the Judge, and live free, to phook and soook every thing they can get their hands on.

Is MGTOW wrong?

What you do is actually quite interesting.

The variety of containers for all sorts of goods is amazing!

I have often wondered why products don’t have containers
that are designed to be more useful to people once the contents are emptied out.

i.e. I use 2ltr soda bottles for many things and rarely toss them out.

I have a large set of glasses that were originally jelly jars that my Grandma collected in the 30’s .. you can see they were designed to fill that purpose once empty... a very cool idea!

and that is because since late 60’s education has been centered around females. Boys are drugged and thereby stunted by matrilocal fascist that run education.

The result of 50+ years of social engineering, imagine if the same techniques were applied to the entire American population.

Yes, since they don’t put the blame where it lies.
