“paired them with a research assistant”

The article isn’t clear, but seems to me most research assistants are college students.

What boy wouldn’t pay attention to a young woman paying attention to them?

I still remember the student teachers I had in elementary school. mmmmmm!

the boys paired with female tutors felt better about their reading skills

THIS is proof? They FELT better? Are they graded on how they feel, or how well they read? BS

On average, the boys paired with female tutors felt better about their reading skills after the 10 weeks than those who were coached by a male research assistant.

Felt better? Now isn't that scientific?

After about 16 years of watching my wife home-school 3 boys and 2 girls, I've concluded that boys learn early to please Mom ... which I believe translates into pleasing (impressing) girls later in life.

Girls are more prone to want to please Dad.

If only the 'study' that 'confirms' boys and girls are different was believed and accepted ... these 'study's' would no longer pop up every 20 years or so, and we could get on with weaving and mending the fabric of America.

All you guys drooling in your fantasies (still) missed something somewhere back there ...... or got something.

Who cares how they *felt*!?

Did their reading skills improve, or not, that’s the salient question.

Just damn.

Quote from the article:

“On average, the boys paired with female tutors felt better...”

FELT? So now feelings have taken the place of actual measured improvement in reading?
