read lenord sax about why gender matters

it just LOOKS like teamwork because the the plebes (lower status kids) fall inline quickly

discusses why you want all girl or boy schools

Actually I don't think it does that at all

Because hierarchical positioning requires you to be apart of the ingroup

This sets up subgroups that are against each other

you don't think that the popular kids instantly inherit a position of status when mixed with a new set of plebes?

They'd do that anyway

no they don't; popular kids wouldn't normally ASSOCIATE with those plebes

they'd stick to their own groups

I’m a popular kid

but the new class gives plebes access they wouldn't normally have

Okay I get what you're saying

@ManAnimal In my experience, if I'm working on a project with a kid more popular than me, than I just tend to fall in line. Take the path of least resistance.

It’s not about popularity when it comes to projects it’s about leadership skills

@livid_scrooge It really is...

sometimes you wield it and aren't even aware that you wield it; that was me in school; EVERYONE knew who i was; i didn't feel that way though

Class rooms should probably be gender segregated at least if you want your classroom to act like a team

Everyone knows who I am but don't really interact with me at all.

I'd tend to agree with the gender segregated approach

And race

with a more controlled blending

I think that classrooms should be an in group in and of themselves but they currently they really aren't

They aren't a team in the same way a sports team is

that was my college class. there was only 15 of us in my major in the entire college

we all knew each other

we in all the same classes

It's how it should be

most of the time, ONLY us were taking those classes, no other students

I was known as a troublemaker. >.>

Look, it was just that *one* time I broke the security on the school computers...

People nowdays have their 5 person friendgroup and don't know anything about the rest of the class

for 20 yrs, i could go back to college and the profs knew me of a first name basis

can't beat that experience

They wouldn't be able to tell you what the other students interests are

@Laucivol Hahaha, I got burned for using Tor

@Laucivol, the future marine was branded a trouble-maker? you don't say

They thought I had Austim in 3rd grade

i never heard of THAT before 😉
