Recent studies have found that boys are "falling behind" in school. This is a direct contrast with the former idea that girls were being "shortchanged" in the '90s. The country seems to be very concerned with this issue, and studies have been done to try to figure out how to "close the gap." Some studies or reports, such as the recent "Raising Cain", claim that boys genetically need to learn in a more active and athletic way, and that learning in schools has been designed more for girls than boys. I personally think the deal about boys having to learn in a more active way is pretty stupid. I myself am a middle school student, and I experience some sort of gender-bias almost every day. I personally think these studies and reports are the country's way of saying that it is uncomfortable with the fact that women and girls are being allowed more power than ever before. Tell me what you think, from experience or just in your opinion.
