How to Solve the Education Crisis for Boys and Men | Richard Reeves | TED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- While studying inequality and social mobility, Richard Reeves made a surprising discovery: in some countries, like the US and UK, boys are drastically lagging behind girls across many academic measures. He explains why these struggles in school are indicative of the larger crises facing boys and men -- and outlines how society could thoughtfully tackle these challenges to work towards a more inclusive, equitable future. (Followed by a Q&A with head of TED Chris Anderson)

Former educator here. No Child Left Behind, Adequate Yearly Progress, etc, left boys behind. No doubt in my mind at all. The disservice done to boys by the notion that all kids must reach the same point in their learning at the same time in the school year is incredibly difficult to put into words. The reduction in the early 2000s in PE time, recess, art, music, hurt all children, but especially boys who had nothing wrong with them, they just needed that additional time. Instead, we slapped labels on them and sent them to “intervention”. I don’t know that we are moving forward when we fail to recognize that grades and test scores are a mirage and don’t tell the whole story of a child’s learning process.
I am a HS teacher (love how you have to be politically correct and call yourself an educator)---another big problem is parents who come and scream when their child gets the grade he deserves. I cannot tell you how many mothers have come to school and screamed because their child received a mediocre grade!!!!!! Mothers need to stop babying their boys.
Thank You! Why do we have grades at all? With what we know about development and learning why are we still stuck on grade level and not competency level? After all the studies, all the money spent studying learning development, why are we still stuck on grade levels? It holds back the quick learners and moves too fast for the slow learners. Grade levels have zero meaning. Individualize learning based on the speed and comprehension of the individual. Stop standardizing human beings!
12:05. "It's very important that we don't treat our boys as if they are malfunctioning girls." Amen.
Yes I agree
I am a 25 year old male that returned to university after a 4 year break, and am thankful to see people recognizing this issue. A disturbingly large percentage of the males I met in college, or knew already that went to college, did not graduate on time or dropped out and pursued other interests. I think it’s more nuanced than discussed but it’s a challenge that needs to be recognized and needs special attention from parents and the education system as a whole. For the record, I graduated HS with a 4.0 and am a year and a half away from a dual Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering degree; it’s not just about men and their ability to learn and understand complex topics, it’s much deeper than that.
I think the explanation is simple: male are more distracted from all the products in the internet. like sexual distractions. while girls are more disciplined by nature.
@@user-ri3vu4os7j Lets go further, education has largely favored girls, with female educators oftentimes incompetent ones dominating the field and most of them have feministic leanings, and don't understand or refuse to learn how to deal with boys. Lots of blame to go around, but make no mistake, this phenomenon will not be good for women, as we are seeing now on the societal impact and tensions that have been created, women are less and less respected in todays society, all their girl bossing have brought them nothing but being a perpetual slave wage to a consumerism and service based economy distorted by women spending habits and the powerful corporations that want to keep this scam going. The most important fields of research and development not named AI or computing have gone by the wayside replaced by a care based economy, that services female consumption pattern.
Most school curriculum across the planet are arranged in a way favouring girl childs. From textbook stories(No action thriller or adventurous themes which boys likes) to no to subtle encouragement for physcal demanding sports and so on.
What about Aptitude? The focus in highschool should be Aptitude. What are you good at? what do you as an individual have an inclination for?
It’s so nice to hear from someone who is sensible and compassionate. That seems to be rare in today’s age.
I'm a male teacher of color, and I absolutely agree with you everything you said! Hopefully, the system changes before American society is damaged even either.
I learned a lot about the issues that boys and men face from your book. I was worried that the conversation was dropped. Glad to see this
aren't you surprise you never heard about this issue from the conventional(fake) media. i always wondered why for each issue, even minor one, female gender has you will have the media reporting but men issue are always neglected even if these issue are more important (for example - swimming competition affected by transgender has smaller affect on society then the education issue reported here. another example is a report on the rise of women in jail while its clear there are more men suffering from that issue and nothing is being that of them.)
this causes many men (some i know) to pass and go to the east when they are more welcome.
you can see the decline of the west lately on economics crime and more. The east will win this and will rise stronger has week men bring bad things while strong men bring prosperity. and strong men are those that have the balls to pay the price and go to places better for them.
lately i heard that they want to pass a rule that ppl that go overseas will still pay taxes to west origin countries and i wonder if that is related.
if you don't live in a country why you should pay taxes if you don't use that county services - i bet these ppl will pass their citizenships, its going to be interesting
Summary:
The video is a TED Talk by Richard Reeves, a scholar who studies inequality. In this talk, he discusses the growing educational gap between boys and girls, particularly in the United States but also in other economically advanced countries. Here are the key points:
1. There is an 18-percentage-point gap in the awarding of college degrees in favor of women in the U.S., a reversal from 50 years ago when men were more likely to earn degrees. This trend is also seen in other advanced countries.
2. Boys are trailing girls throughout the education system, with two-thirds of top academic performers in high school being girls and two-thirds of those at the bottom being boys.
3. Boys from poorer and middle-class households are much less likely to attend college than girls from the same background. The gender gap is less stark in affluent communities.
4. The gender gaps are even more stark for Black Americans. For every Black man getting a college degree, there are two Black women.
5. Boys face two big structural disadvantages in education: their brains develop later, particularly the prefrontal cortex associated with planning, organization, and impulse control; and there is a lack of male teachers, who can be important role models and are more sensitive to the specific challenges of boys in the classroom.
6. The education system often treats the problems of boys as problems with boys, medicalizing and medicating their issues rather than addressing systemic issues.
7. Reeves suggests policy changes such as starting boys in school a year later to account for later brain development and recruiting more male teachers, especially in subjects like English where boys are struggling.
8. Reeves emphasizes that doing more for boys and men doesn't mean doing less for women and girls. He argues against zero-sum thinking and advocates for a future that benefits everyone.
9. He concludes by advising boys who are struggling to understand that it's not their fault if they're having difficulties in a system that might not be working for them, and to avoid blaming women or feminism for their struggles.

Thanks. Saved 15 minutes off my watchtime.
Awesome! Thanks
To be honest, I kept nodding my head while reading these words all the way down to,,,,,,, the last sentence "Generated with GPT-4" for which I felt startled

good
I taught in an inner City school system for many years. I watched as the system tried all manner of expensive schemes foisted on them by educational scammers. None worked and all were cast aside. Two things made a difference - Streaming based on performance and dividing classes by gender. males and females are different and learn differently. The most basic difference is temperature of the classroom. males like it cooler. Having males separated allows them to compete without the need to show off. The system I worked in did this for a couple of years and then decided to scrap it. You see, it is not really about the Kids, it is all about the administration and putting feathers in their own hats!
I've worked several years in public education and I 100% agree, all decisions were based on money and convenience for the ADULTS, nothing about the students. Sure, they _said_ it was "for the students" but it was really to make things easier for the ADULTS and to look good to the "stakeholders". The only stakeholders any educational system should care about is what's best for the students and if that care inconveniences the adults, they need to find a different profession.
@@ajwalker4416 every year I fought to get good furniture in my classroom. I installed AC units in the windows. I paid for materials so I could have experiments. Did I ever see a politician? Not one. Look how much money gets 'lost' every year from the school system. For lost read stolen! Special needs students never get the same opportunity as regular students. Inclusive classrooms are another lie.
Excellent speech. Young men have very few good role models. They're falling into the hands of these weird "alpha" male types. This is a path away from that.
brilliant talk - Richard Reeves is an inspiration - will be sharing the link to this talk across
my social media channels!
9:53 incredibly powerful statement
I've been seeing these things since 2018 and people are finally listening. It's so good to see.
Amazing one! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Good talk.
We do need to change education. Many kids would learn better in less rigid structure (not sorted by age, placed on chairs and asked to focus for hours).
Thank you for your question at the end too Chris - this is not a war against girls or women. We all need to work for better future by changing the systems that are holding so many back.
We now live in a world where everything is a function over form. It's not about who you are, its about what your job is. Add in the obsession with consumerism and low-energy modern debauchery, you have a recipe for disaster. No purpose, no passion, no ambition, no point in living.😢
@@mingyuhuang8944agreed 100%
I started pre school a year late compared to my three sisters and I am very thankful for it. I largely went through most of my developement earlier and it helped me succeed in high school and now through undergrad.
I really hesitate to be critical of this presentation in any way. I agree with all his conclusions about how boys are being treated in the education system. One change that he didn't mention happened guite a few decades ago, and is hurting both girls and boys. That is the requirement for gym class that was removed somewhere in the late 80s. My critic of his analysis is his focusing on the macro data without putting those numbers into context. One huge reason women are outpacing men with regards to college degrees is that for women, virtually all paths to a career involve a college degree. If you look at roughly equivalent pay scales, women have the choice of pursuing a nursing degree (or similar). Women hold a 5.6:1 advantage in the healthcare fields.For men, skilled trades are often the choice. Men occupy well over 90% of all high skill level trade jobs. One requires a four year degree. The other requires a 3-4 year apprenticeship. As for careers in teaching, good luck! The pay is terrible, and the support level is even worse.
It also has to be pointed out that boys are not as bad off as might be indicated by the raw degree numbers. For the following "parental bragging rights" degrees. Stem degrees are still overwhelmingly awarded to men (76%). With many women transferring out of stem curriculum after their freshman year. Business degrees are roughly equal among men and women. As are graduating doctors and lawyers. Women who pursue law as a career still only make up about 38% percent of the workforce. The three reasons given by women for abandoning law are childcare, stress, and the pressure to meet billable hours.
Degrees that are dominated by women that are of some concern are what I call "the fast track to a Starbucks career" degrees. These degrees are Ethnic/Gender studies, English majors, Family Science, Foreign language/literature, and Liberal arts/General studies. (Somebody need an explanation for the wage gap? Yikes!)
Absolutelly! Loved your analysis. I also thought while watching: most women (including myself) got college degrees in fields where they can earn less with a degree, than many men in skilled jobs without a degree. Whenever has an art history degree brought a woman any advantage? (Besides helping her marry the occasional prince?)
Quite right. I earned a lot more without a degree than lots of people I know who had a degree. Too many women spend many years at a university to learn lots of stuff an employer don't care about or want to pay for.
You are right about gym classes. Boys in particular have to 'let off steam' every now and then. Wherease for the most part girls are more placid. It is basic biology.
This is about Men and Boys issues. No need to include girls.
@VarunK-ii8eb 😂 the whole discussion was a comparison between boys and girls. The metric was the difference between male historical performance and what men/boys are achieving today. The measuring stick used to highlight that difference was female performance today (relative to boys).
And, as the data I shared shows, despite the challenges society is throwing their way, boys are doing quite well relative to girls.
Such an Excellent thought and advice you give. Thank you for men and women.
Thank you for your work!!!
Amazing work. Thanks for bringing up a topic that has been constantly ignored.
This is such a good talk. I'm currently in school, and while I am definitely not an average male in high school (i'm watching TED talks for goodness sakes), a lot of my peers just do not do as well at school than girls, because of that prefrontal cortex that girls have develop sooner.
Yes that is true, However in the past I.e. the seventies and 80s the boys seemed to do as well as the girls. I suspect the lack of male teachers has let the boys down badly
When I love the most about this presentation is if you replaced every time he said "boy" or "man" with "girl" and woman", his points still stand. His point on zero-sum thinking is crucial, because today everything is focused on one group or the other, and it's almost never about supporting both groups. It's' important that we don't focus on giving both sexes the same support, but instead that they are getting the support they need to have a level playing field.
Wonderful presentation! I had no idea..
Great talk , thank you 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
Very interesting talk. Thank you. DA
This also carries over into the workforce - a few women might feel an aggressive duty to overpower the men on the team but it comes across as just toxic in the longrun rather than actually collaborating.
Thank you sir!
I have utilized the square peg in a round hole metaphor in the way corp world works. Where we only value xyz ( round hole) and discount what the employee is offering outside it (their corners that need to be shaved off to fit) then chastise them for not fully filling the hole entirely.
Thank you
thank you very much Richard
thanks for the video
It feels good to see this taken seriously, but we need more awareness.
I don't think the system affected me, I am low functioning in general, but I'm very depressed about the idea that boys in particular could be in a system that disadvantages them.
This is a good one.
Education Matters.
I'm slightly surprised the whole talk didn't mention much about technology.
It touched a little right at the end.
I think the fusion of education with technology hasn't reached the "idealistic" growth in happiness & hope as a human society.
It's like this weird "trend" thing that people jump into, turned it into a necessity when society worked bloody well before that like 30~40 years ago.
Up until my parents generation, there was this consensus that men were the providers, and women were the receivers.
Now, women have the tools to provide themselves more than anything of our past, and women will take that opportunity to take what they can, if they can.
What are men left with, if women can provide themselves as well as being the dominant receiver?
Between men and women, there was this "the grass looks greener" syndrome that happened from women looking at men.
Now that syndrome has gone, when confident women have financial tools that are provided for them to take care of themselves.
I've just spoken a bunch of generalized opinion, but to wrap this up, I have one last thing on my mind.
There are lots of men that appreciate women for who they are, and what they are, but I see this aggressive depreciation of boys, men or fatherly figures.
Seems like there is a myriad of problems that create this "Crisis for Boys and Men" but people need to speak up more openly, and more honestly, to diagnose the situation better.
Good talk by Richard Reeves, I hope this presentation leads to another conversation or presentation.
Very informative video
The problem with recruiting men as teachers is that teachers in the US don't make a respectable salary. Its just not a profession that makes teenagers feel aspirational in the belief that they could support a family on the earnings from a career in education.
And female hypergamy also plays a role there, if men think that their income is going to be more important when it comes to seeking romantic partners (which public data agrees to, a survey conducted in 2017 said in relationships 70% of US citizens believe male income is incredibly important, whereas only about 24% of citizens said the same about female income). However, I will say if a man chose a profession that was 3:1 female, there's a good chance logistically he'd meet a potential partner in that profession. And most of those on social media who talk about hypergamy, which is real, under estimate the importance of logistics in relationship seeking.
basically this, why would i ever be a teacher when i can spend the same time learning to be an electrician. I love the idea of being a teacher more, but it would just be signing up for economic woes ahead.
Education needs to evolve. It should help students realize their strengths and the things they like or are really good at.
About time someone began addressing this. Although it should be a constant conversation just like many women's issues
Beautiful.
The guy nails every point especially the role model explanation
Well done👍
Grateful for Mr. Reeves standing up, speaking out & doing something about a long debilitating aspect of our society. His attempts are way too late for my son who suffered complete dismantlement by the ridiculous DOE. He is far less than who he would have been & the experience of 12 long formative years of disabling protocols/instruction...almost the feeling of being attacked daily...has prescribed a stunted destiny to great degree. I fought extremely hard to counteract it all but w/ no success.
I also believe Mr. Reeves is absolutely spot on re: the science and the ed system; however, his first recommendation, starting them a year later, is not helpful at all.
If, in fact, it is boys of poor to solid mid-class families [like mine] that cannot, or can barely afford childcare, that are suffering the most....these families often ONLY have the mother and she’s working full time, so is eager to off load her child to school. Not only, but, boys at the age of 5/6 STILL NEED ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE. I feel his recommendation swings the pendulum too far & that it will prompt incredible backlash...can imagine some population segments interpreting it as 'Are you saying our boys aren't good enough...inferior?' It will potentially be politicized & go hand in hand w/ the curriculum rewriting history or the businesses that, now, don't have to serve people w/ ideologies they are offended by.
Agreeing completely that boys should have an early development curriculum designed specifically for their differentiated biologics, I would recommend creating a pre-school centered around ACTIVITY IN NATURE. Achieves 3 transformative objectives with ONE MOVE which:
1] Provides early childcare for boys of all socio-economic backgrounds in a different way & specifically designed for boys > FAMILY/SOCIETY WINS
2] As curriculum is 'activity in nature' you are meeting boys needs to be gregarious -connecting with their bodies- & simultaneously nurturing an appreciation for nature...that it's not just something to be exploited for human satisfaction. Not only are they getting all their energy/aggressive tendencies out...so vital to calm their minds...they're also immersing in nature...both support the notion they're less likely to suffer psychological issues later. With the importance of both nature & constructive physical activity indelibly impressed early on...SOCIETY/BOYS WIN
3] This approach to curriculum teaches them how to work together as Males….concentrates on teaching men to Share, Listen, Support each other, emphasizing an option to COMPETING w/ each other, often their innate default. These attributes come less naturally to beings primed to produce testosterone later, instead of progesterone in girls. Therefore, approach not only takes into account the disparity of Brain Development but the Hormonal Science as well. So, overall, an 'Activated Experience in Nature' is also a perfect EARLY PRIMER to set COOPERATION/COLLABORATION deep into young boys psyches.
BOYS/FAMILY/SOCIETY WINS
"I also believe Mr. Reeves is absolutely spot on re: the science and the ed system; however, his first recommendation, starting them a year later, is not helpful at all. "
As a young boy, I would almost certainly have internalised this as saying that I'm just not able, unlike girls. This idea could be so damaging to impressionable young boys. It's also lazy, because it reduces the emphasis on changing the system.
Thank you for your comment.
Mr Richard Reeves thank for sharing this platform. You need to be head of the United States Department of Education it saddens me to see we the richest country and not improving education today for our students.😢😢😢😢
It's essential for young boys to dedicate more time to reading. Starting from a young age, reading becomes incredibly valuable, even during summer break. By investing just a little time each day, they can engage with clean, short, and affordable ebooks (for example "From Peaks to Waves: A Family's Summer Story"). These books should be slightly challenging, but not overly difficult, to encourage continual growth, expand their imagination, and sharpen their minds. I've noticed that most intelligent adults I know were avid readers during their childhood.
It’s interesting you bring that up. When I was a kid I wanted to read a lot, but it was books about science and technology. I was forbidden from reading those books, and instead forced to read fiction which I didn’t care about one bit.
My brother was a veracious reader, finishing Jurassic Park in 2nd grade, but the book was confiscated because the teachers said it was too violent.
These are anecdotes, but looking back it looked like the teachers hadn’t put enough thought about what type of books actually appeal to boys.
The best talk I’ve heard on this subject because it’s the only one that acknowledges the role of economic inequality in what’s happening. Too many of these of these talks just seem to say “It’s lack of dads, lack of male teachers and one gender’s being allowed to excel at the expense of the other”. As for the lack of male teachers - you better do something about the poor pay in heavily feminised labour sectors like teaching first to attract them.
Richard Reeves is a very impressive man for talking so persuasively about this issue. He may get scoffed at, but if he sticks to his argument people will listen.
So many truth bombs delivered with facts and evidence. As a species, we need recognise the deficiencies in our educational systems and to take a proactive approach to education, recruitment of male teachers, types of education (vocational, technical vs university) and promote that a healthier body also equates to a healthier mind. There’s so much to lose but more so there is so much more to gain.
No one has their back. They are going to find that out very quickly.
Balance is the key in all aspects of life

It's funny that I started kindergarten in the early 80s and there wasn't a grade in school where there wasn't an attitude of boys being less than girls for the first half dozen years. By the time I got to middle school I doubt there would have been anything that could have been done by any teacher to get me engaged again because I had stopped paying attention by then. I was generally doing minimums and the little bit that interested me. I graduated high school with a B average. Once I got to the University (by way of a community college since I didn't get in directly), I did much better. My GPA in a Computer Engineering program was higher than in high school. Every good grade in college felt like a victory over the teachers that had made my experience of primary school so unpleasant.
well said mr Reeves
I was amazed
Love this korero.
Displaying indifferene is problematic looking at the future both near and distant.
All i have been saying for the last 20 years. Thanks.
boys aren't just broken girls, and that's what they are treated like.
A good teacher recognizes each students ability to learn is as unique as thier fingerprints.
Male teachers can indeed be more sensitive towards boy's issues in the classroom, a natural instinct kicks in to help a boy become a man.
This raises some good points and issues, but the solutions are super naïve. Recruiting more teachers isn't the way to go, there are no shortages of trash teachers waiting to exploit your scholarship offer. I think a better solution is to leverage the impact of the few exceptional teachers and build a hierarchy of schooling around them.
Structuring grades purely by age rather than aptitude and development is a problem inherent in the system.
We now live in a world where everything is a function over form. It's not about who you are, its about what your job is. Add in the obsession with consumerism and low-energy modern debauchery, you have a recipe for disaster. No purpose, no passion, no ambition, no point in living.
we're all just pawns serving billionaires who pose as saviours.
Guys, record this video quickly before it is removed by UA-cam or simply deleted by Ted themselves
Are we feeling conspirational today?
@@rp6582 I'm very glad that TED didn't give this talk the Coleman Hughes treatment, lol
I love to ear this man talk about this (undermined) subject. Great Talk.
Sadly, it seems that the accusations of "paternalism" and "misogeny" are getting to him... chin up my good man, stay the path.
As a leading expert in “education in the age of AI,” I am the most advanced teacher in Japan.
In the future, teachers will not be “teachers” but “learners”.
In other words, school teachers are facilitators, not teachers.
I am the only high school teacher in Japan with such an education.
I also do national presentations, university lectures, and teach faculty on my UA-cam channel.
I am also a former semiconductor engineer who has successfully developed a national project and obtained a technology patent.
The most common sense speech I have heard in a long time on this subject
I always enjoyed English with a male teacher. I never liked any of my female English teachers. I find that more profound after listening to this.
Richard, You are wrong about the 'one year later' policy for all boys.
You say "I don't think we can afford to get this wrong". I agree, but many boys are well school ready when they currently go.
You miss an important factor - the slower language development of many boys. We address this not by waiting a year, but by teaching them words and getting them to talk aged 4.
Your information on brain development and impulse control are correct, but your diagnosis is wrong - you deal with this by creating a disciplined environment where the boys (and all students) come to do their homework out of a habit created in a school where everyone does their homework.
Interesting statistics, but isn't it possible that men just have more opportunities which do not really require college? afaik you do not need higher education for army and many other professions which mainly require physical force, and even if "preferences" are distributed equally among men and women, they are kinda flexible. Hence if one gender is physically stronger this gender will naturally have more people going for such jobs, which will yield differences in educational attainment without any negative implications. Therefore, there might well not be a "crisis", what we observe might well be the "optimal" level of difference -- not even inequality.
Negative on that one. Schools and Colleges are heavily geared towards girls.
Standing ovation...go figure...
I had an male english teacher in high school mr Scaramucci i hated that guy
For years this topic would get you immediately cancelled or labelled a toxic incel. An entire generation (probably multiple) or boys with wasted lives just for payback, even though we never did anything wrong.
It took over a decade for the conversation to even be allowed in polite society. It will take another decade before anything even begins to get done.
I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $90k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?
Avert too-good-to-be-true con tricks. Consult a fiduciary counselor; these professionals are among the best in the business and offer individualized guidance to clients based on their risk tolerance. There are undesirable ones, but some with a solid track record can be excellent.
Yes, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst Mark Stuart Jordan for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Big Credits to Mark Stuart Jordan he has a web presence, so you can simply search for, there are some others but it might be difficult to get them, but Mark Stuart Jordan has been a good guide through the year.
I just looked up Mark Stuart Jordan online and researched his accreditation. He seem very proficient, I wrote him detailing my Fin-market goals and scheduled a call.
What Is he think about another sexes or genders? Which pattern must they take ?
I’ve been saying for quite a while, but aside from women already doing better biologically in primary schooling/maturity, and the biases we’ve seen women often benefit from within schooling, we’re also seeing women held on a much higher pedestal than men.
I’m certain anyone in the United States currently in school or early in a white color career can name at least 2 extracurricular or company-sponsored programs that are specifically designed to uplift girls/women, while there is not a single equivalent program for boys/men. We started pushing these programs for women and in the process completely left men behind.

This advancement of girls over boys ends with academia. In corporate workplace, women are still way behind especially as we move up the ladder. Moreover, in developing countries, girls still fall behind boys in schools because of very high dropouts rates among girls. Hence, the focus on girl child education still needs to continue.

Why did the Japanese have to apologize for changing the scores of women who passed the medical school exam? That clear case of systematic injustice. In order to maintain 30% women at the medical school. It was to maintain the status quo. To keep men on top. Even though more women had passed the test. The man charged The test results electronically.
Good on them for keeping men on top, where they should be. Women should go into nursing, with their aptitude.
@@rastrats I'm not one for online arguments but that, "where they should be" feels like a slap on the face to so many men. if the girls are getting higher merit, it's due to their aptitude, taking that away and replacing it with that of boys who didn't perform up to par feels like an insult to the boys as well. they're quite capable of getting their own high scores. and also, it's very unfair towards the girls who worked hard, but who's going to listen.
Too late. It won't get resolved

Nothing will be done. Look at how Cassie Jaye was received. Men and boys are on their own for decades to come.
I wonder how successful a heightened recruitment of male teachers can be if you cannot keep them safe in the classroom. Given that authority and responsibility in the classroom is not equalized, who is willing to step into the classroom to address an issue like this?
The skill of planning, impulse control and organization develops later in boys, but maybe it's not biological, maybe boys need to be pushed harder or better supported in those aspects
I wonder if part of it is because guys are more likely to go into manual labor jobs/fields that don't require a degree.
As far as highschool gpa goes I have no clue.
5:03 Very interesting I did not know that
Blegh hate the sitting down and doing it part 😅 especially once I'm home
8:44 biggest problem there is just how few men have degrees in that field, my whole learning career I never once had a male English. One topic I'd like to bring up is History, over half my history teachers were men (no clue if that's normal), but that has quite the analog to english since you often have to read and write in history classes granted grammar often means far less.
23% damn :/ That's horrible some of those adhd really mess with a kid. My brother has adhd himself and when he tried those meds (multiple different kinds at different times) he acted like a different person, sure he mellowed out and would sit still, but it was like talking to a high person it just wasn't my brother...
10:45 An extra year would be extremely rough on poor households. Childcare is insanely expensive so getting their kids in public school is a massive income relief as soon as they hit kindergarten. Low income houses are less likely to have a stay home parent so that's just extra money down the drain.
Another issue later on is turning 18 earlier while in school. People in highschool will still act like their peers, but now there'll be more risk of being charged as a adult if stupid crap goes awry after all boys will be boys.
Good luck getting more teachers most people will turn down a low paying pain in the butt job like teaching unless they are passionate about it.
Excellent talk hopefully changes will happen 😁
We as a society seem to be unwilling to have an honest discussion about "why are there so few male teachers?". I constantly see this discussion turn into an argument of "men are misogynist buttholes who see teaching as women's work" - which may explain a bit of the issue but I think is a deflection from the real issue - we actively/passively discriminate against male teachers.
I don't buy the brain development argument. I don't deny the science. But we had these things called parents. I know many boys I went to class with didn't enjoy doing homeworks, but they still managed to do them. Not doing homework wasn't really an option.
I also think it's very important to have purpose and goals. As I said over 15 years ago, it's important for feminists to have a positive message for boys. Or there will be trouble. It's difficult to prosper in a hostile environment. And men need purpose and goals. What is the purpose of men in a feminist society? I accepted my role as provider by the time I was 9 and by 12, I had a career in mind and I stuck to it. I worked even on subjects I didn't enjoy to get best grades to have best chance at getting into the best school and best university. I can't overstate how important it is. Otherwise, men being naturally lazy, they just won't try. Men don't go into making a lot of money for themselves. You don't need that much money to have fun and enjoy life. You need a lot of money if you want a family. But women are taking care of that, right? (That's not my thinking, that's the lack of purpose since providing is not it anymore.)
I do agree on teachers. But I see a different problem. In my experience, most of female teachers really struggle to command a room and to control boys. They lack respect. In fact, sometimes they were downright laughing stock. Not so with males. But there was also a problem. I witnessed old generation being replaced by new generation with the new male teachers coming in wanting to be your friends and it just didn't work. A kind of woman in pants. At graduation, everybody remembered most fondly the grumpy old physics teacher that nearly everybody hated in class because he was demanding and had knack for sniffing out weaknesses and grilling you on them. But he forced us to push and learn something and that's what everybody appreciated in hindsight.
What about gender pay gap?
there's no such a thing, cry about it
There exists a gender earnings gap, but not a pay gap (as in lower pay for the same job). Longer hours worked and industry/job role choice are the reasons, along with taking time out of a career to be the primary carer.
If you mean why are some industries paid less than others, it's usually due to technical difficulty (arcitect), danger (mining), how gross it is (sewage worker), or how much work (long hours or physical labour) is involved (nurse or construction).
Teaching isn't easy, but it doesn't compare on these issues with many other jobs, hence it's paid lower. Perhaps it should be changed though due to wanting to attract the best talent. I don't know where that extra money will come from though.
Yeah he didn't talk bout that. So let me spill the bean about PAY GAP. Why women on average bags more than men in fashion industries? Modeling? as Receptionist? Flight attendant? And so on? Simple, because women generates more revenue for the company than counterparts men. And do you even know that FIFA 2018 men's wc generated around 6 billion usd whilst women wc bagged only around 120 million usd. Meanwhile men are paid about 7 percent of what they'd generated, while women are paid about 21 percent of the total revenue. That's the real gender pay back. Based on findings cricket board of India pays men and women cricketers the same even tho both generates distinct revenues. Women are paid less in technical and male dominated fields cos they're reluctant or less efficient in doing physically challenging jobs, jobs consists risks, jobs that are more stressful,.....why? Because they've the choice to leave job and look after family by depending on someone else's. For men, jobs are inevitable, they're valued by society based on jobs. Their thriving is based on jobs, none will feed him if he chose to withdrew from jobs. So most men are always ready to take any risks to earn their life time(risk ful jobs pays conventionally attractive payments). Furthermore you could reserach about the disparity of working hours for the same job profile between both sexes.
First
How are men and women different - and beyond the teen years? While men and women each care about both people and principle - men care about both in the name of caring about principle - while women care about both in the name of caring about people. So the last question that men ask themselves (mostly without noticing) is "How will this affect principle?" and women ask "How will this affect people?"
Now I've been extremely careful here in the way I have expressed myself. Note that I said that men and women EACH care about both people and principle - so please don't reply implying that I said something other than that.
This key difference between men and women (and therefore teenage boys and girls) has to be considered in the way in which boys and girls are taught in the classroom. If you want to engage boys in the classroom you should present the discussion as an ethical dilemma. Instead the focus in education has moved towards creating 'safe' environments - and also showing respect for everyone else's beliefs - even when they are self-evidently ridiculous. (We can honour all people without respecting their beliefs).
This is why men need to lead in their homes. It isn't that men and women don't each lead in something - the problem is that if men's leadership doesn't PRECEDE women's leadership - if men don't have the opportunity to favour principle over people for the sake of both people and principle - they end up having no place at all. Instead men are being told not to be men - to disengage - to be politically correct instead of be themselves.
So then what is authentic manhood? It is more than sprouting forth on matters of principle. The WAY in which men are supposed to uphold principle is crucial. They are supposed to do it by pouring themselves out in SERVICE and SACRIFICE in order to woo those they care for to an environment of justice (justice being the favouring of principle for the sake of both people and principle) - in doing this they create the necessary environment in which women can outwork their orientation - to lead in showing mercy (mercy being the favouring of people for the sake of both people and principle).
This is why children are on average better off with a father and a mother - because a father and a mother are not the same thing. Having two people caring about both people and principle - but with differing orientations - is a natural safeguard for children.
PS It might therefore be tempting to conclude that the problem with education is that it has been feminised. But that's not the right conclusion (although I agree that it's a huge problem that there are not enough male teachers!). Tolerance towards untruth - offering safety when safety should not be guaranteed - is not the same thing as EITHER showing mercy OR establishing justice. The way in which school has been damaged has also done a disservice to girls - however boys are affected even more.
Rarely have seen it expressed this way - spot on!
We now live in a world where everything is a function over form. It's not about who you are, its about what your job is. Add in the obsession with consumerism and low-energy modern debauchery, you have a recipe for disaster. No purpose, no passion, no ambition, no point in living.
People seem to forget that education and raising children used to be done by both parents... only changing rapidly last 100 year and becoming a more female thing.
Sorry but this is a load of bullshit "men think logic women emotion" old narratives. I know you really think you make a difference between the two, but there's really no difference, it's just sexist. Saying men care about people and principles in the name of principles and women care about people and principles in the name of principles, is the same as saying men care about principles and women care about people.
You're building all your arguments under false narratives. But yes, fathers should be more involved in the lives of their children. Girls would care more too if things were presented as ethical dilemma, the teachers and just too bored to do that. Also creating safe environment isn't a bad thing but you seem to think it's the cause of the problem??? You end up saying the problem isn't that education has been feminised, but that's what your whole text is basically saying. You don't have the solution.
You don't understand what the man in the video actually said ;
"What’s happened is that as the artificial and sexist barriers that were placed in front of women and girls have been successively removed, their natural advantages in the classroom have been revealed."
The boys AREN'T doing worse than they used too, the girls are just doing better. The system didn't change for boys. It's just now we need to improve the system to maybe help boys develop impulse controls and organization skills, or if those differences are biological maybe make them start school a year later.
I loved your first two paragraphs. But I could not make the leap with you to the third one. It does not follow.
I agree with most of the talk but he's trying to be nice. This feminsi movement contributed. There was and still is a deliberate effort to pull males back for females to catch up
I fail to see the racial part (poor whites in America are treated just as bad or worse than poor blacks because at least poor blacks are seen as unfortunates by some of the more elite institutions in our society-poor whites just seem to not be seen at all by a vast swathe of the people in power who can do something about this) of this but there are some very good points made here that are backed up by data. I was a good student in elementary, but in middle and high school I struggled far more because they failed to make it exciting enough to put away other distractions, music became an escape rather than a healthy passion. Boys need school out in nature TBH. I don't think sitting in a classroom is really that conducive to teaching a bunch of up-jumped, hormonal teenage boys to be future leaders. The way it's currently designed benefits females far more than males, and its an argument IMO to separate schools by gender again. And the lack of male teachers is a big one as well, especially in High School- I found it interesting how I subconsciously took my female teachers less seriously as my hormones were firing out of whack during that time.
Just admit you don’t understand how hypergamy and Briffault's Law works.
Good points! I would like to see more male teachers, for sure!!! But what about paying ALL teachers better, regardless of their gender? Wouldn't that immediatelly close some of that gap? Being a teacher is hard work and underpaid. Isn't that the main reason why men are choosing to work elsewhere in the first place?
So if girls and women are ahead in education, why hasn’t that translated to at least equal pay in the workforce? In the end, men still come out ahead.
It's because of maternity leave, and the way it disrupts advancement through a company. Which is definitely bad, and an example of an inequality that hurts women that we need to address, but it doesn't detract from the issues that face men and boys in education.
Where is girls and womens?
Then reform the education system...! EASY
His take on the impulse control is biological essentialism and ignores a lot of psychology. We (typically) raise boys to not have as much impulse control as we raise girls to have. That should be extremely obvious to anyone who begins to look into this topic in the slightest.
agreed.
Hhghjhj
Something is wrong here I think you need to change the title from boys and men to boys and girls
He's a boy dad.
