Do Schools Discriminate Against Boys?

Exam results suggest that girls are overtaking boys across the academic spectrum. In an article in The Province (June 12, 2014) entitled “The Guys Crisis: Boys are falling badly behind the girls at school,” author Paul Luke states, “By high school, girls’ grade point average outshines that of boys. In Canada, women make up almost 60 percent of university students.” He explains the phenomenon by suggesting that for too long the needs of girls were overlooked in school, and now that things are more equitable, girls outshine boys in learning. However, the teacher-evaluated grades do not accurately reflect students’ academic performance. In an analysis performed by Dr. Jim Dueck, he revealed that current practices in student assessment might well be an institutional suppression on the performance of males students. This should prompt you to consider whether the classroom provides an equal playing field or if certain educational trends leave one gender, boys, behind.
