I suppose I don't think so

2018-12-10 13:28:17 UTC  

The point, I think, is that they aren't fully supported (and are suffering as a result).

2018-12-10 13:29:17 UTC  

Although relative disadvantage is pretty useful when demonstrating that there is a problem, it is difficult when it comes to making the issue matter. Because relative disadvantage doesn't really matter by itself

2018-12-10 13:29:33 UTC  

But at the same time

2018-12-10 13:29:47 UTC  

I don't really have numbers, data on the real impact on boys for any of this.

2018-12-10 13:30:05 UTC  

So perhaps simply being at a disadvantage is all I can make a direct point

2018-12-10 13:30:08 UTC  

Relative disadvantage would had mattered a lot if it was girls that were disadvantaged

2018-12-10 13:30:18 UTC  

Yes, yes it would

2018-12-10 13:30:59 UTC  

We can call it a disadvantage then

2018-12-10 13:31:03 UTC  

Sure

2018-12-10 13:31:40 UTC  

Sorry, I was thinking aloud, the gist of the paper probably ultimately is boys being at a disadvantage

2018-12-10 13:31:54 UTC  

I'm just slightly dissatisfied with stopping there

2018-12-10 13:32:17 UTC  

but also want to keep very grounded in evidence

2018-12-10 13:42:56 UTC  

@asparkofpyrokravte I bet it seems like it's getting ridiculously long to 'get it right'... But it's worth it mate

2018-12-10 13:43:33 UTC  

I'm sorry to have told you that it seems wrong. But you need to know

2018-12-10 13:43:56 UTC  

Buddy, I'm literally asking for it

2018-12-10 13:45:11 UTC  

Doesn't make me not feel bad about it lol. It's like, you know its wrong but dont wanna offend someone who's obviously trying hard!!

2018-12-10 13:45:55 UTC  

Your effort is so worthwhile, I can't really write it for you and please keep on :3

2018-12-10 13:46:22 UTC  

I have finished reading the article

2018-12-10 13:46:39 UTC  

The ending is very good

2018-12-10 13:47:55 UTC  

Only the beginning need some edits

2018-12-10 13:48:09 UTC  

I think mind was cut off, but I got wrapped up in talking about the start

2018-12-10 13:48:12 UTC  

That would depend on the title thogh

2018-12-10 13:48:22 UTC  

For me it ends "boys in the start ..."

2018-12-10 13:49:59 UTC  

That is really weird

2018-12-10 13:50:05 UTC  

I can't even find where that phrase is in the article

2018-12-10 13:50:25 UTC  

I'm sure it's just my useless phone

2018-12-10 13:50:27 UTC  

I can't either

2018-12-10 13:50:54 UTC  

This is the one that never seems to break though, so I keep using it

2018-12-10 13:51:14 UTC  

I had two edges, but they both broke as soon as they were dropped

2018-12-10 13:52:34 UTC  

Tell you what ill screenshot just so you know I'm not full of shit

2018-12-10 13:53:21 UTC

2018-12-10 13:53:30 UTC  

Cut off at a different point this time

2018-12-10 13:56:37 UTC  

My apologies for not being good enough to display the full fruits of your efforts

2018-12-10 13:57:22 UTC  

You're basically at the end in that screenshot

2018-12-10 13:57:30 UTC  

Your studies I've looked into. They're good.

2018-12-10 13:57:42 UTC  

Your opening still need work.

2018-12-10 13:57:53 UTC  

"Now, there are other issues boys face in education, but most of those are somewhat removed from the actual schooling. The effect of fatherlessness for example, may very well dwarf everything I've mentioned in the article so far, but that isn't something the school systems themselves can deal with. In any case, that topic is for another article."

2018-12-10 13:57:56 UTC  

That's the final paragraph

2018-12-10 13:58:03 UTC  

so you have the whole thing more or less

2018-12-10 13:58:35 UTC  

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give the opening another shot
