““Not one single boy - out of 8 - was put in one single honors class.”
Why not?”
Grades. The girls had higher grades than the boys (grades and teacher recommendation are the requirements for honors classes).
The boys would always complain that the teachers were nicer to the girls, that they openly favored the girls, and that they only called on the girls and then lowered the boys’ participation grades because none of them participated. Us moms would tell the boys to get over it and stop complaining. I am so angry with myself for not doing anything. My mama bear blood is kicking in right now.
I have a boy in 11th and a girl in 6th. The boy is bright enough, but he struggles to keep his grades up. I’ve had the feeling that something is wrong, but aside from the general state of aggravated dumbassery among the teachers, I haven’t been able to figure out what’s going on.
My daughter is having trouble in English because I told the teacher that I, and not she, would decide what snacks my child eats.
