welcome @Appleseal 😄
hey
Hello!
Were yall Pe teachers fair
i remember mine used to give higher grades to girls
I had three types of PE teachers
1) Men who also coached sports' teams. Massive assholes who gave zero thought to the effort the less physically abled did, they graded you based on your prowess.
2) A drunk man who was so tired of all that he gave everyone high grades lmao
3) Women. They were way more dynamic, gave fairer grades and except for one experience, were much better teachers.
This is my experience.
Trends generally show that teachers show a bias toward giving girls higher marks than boys. And that female teachers are more likely to exhibit this trait (if I remember correctly). I dont think I've seen a study that specifically compares marks in physical education however, but I do know that due to sex differences girls are held to lower physical standards than boys are. Of course all situations are subjective, so a person's personal experience may differ from these trends.
Hello, welcome @Bladelock @hyj80
thanks!
How are you doing today?
I'm okay.
Welcome you two ^^
I hate having to do things during the day when I'm on a night schedule... Makes me so tired
Only had about 5 hours sleep the last 40 hours
Have you tried closing your eyes?
Maybe deep breathing exercises?
@Locke That's pretty interesting I've been seeing a lot of different stories about teachers lately. One thig I'm worried about is how they are teaching kids that men are the only violent gender.
@Men Are Human two things about me
1) I did not grow up in an anglo culture
2) I am 26
I can only sleep on my bed, can't just fall asleep random places. I'll be fine
@InsaneCaterpilla female teachers are more fair with grades (from my experience)
I can try and find some sources later on, bit of a bad time atm though. I may be mistaken so I don't stand by that particular part, the part I know for sure is that grading is primarily biased to give girls an advantage in general
@Locke That may be why then. Over in 'Western' culture this seems increasing common.
Not all western culture
I don't want to dox myself, so the max I will say is I live in the Mediterranean
which due to catholicism is more conservative than 'mainstream' Europe and the Anglosphere
And we are still in the phase where the insane crap is contained in universities... so far
Big long Italy kicked poor Sicily into the middle of the Mediterranean sea
Somehow remembering a school quote from 20 years ago or more..
Sicilia is paradise
But yeah
My school experience won't be the same as yours for sure
