Yw x_X I get shy around praise, please don't make a habit of it :p
Don't worry. I'll try to not do it then. XD I could just add a /s after the thank yous.
Thanks a lot! I mean it! /s
How's that? :D
Well now that just sounds mean
Sorry.
I was trying to make you feel better
I am not good at that
Where's my Ferrari >.>
XD
If it runs Ofc that's fine
These citations are all for boys being marked lower than girls for the same work in school:

Careful, those are actually all studies I linked above just with different covers, except for the Israel study. Note that the OECD study, if you look at the actual source material instead of the headlines basically moves mountains to make a feminist justification for the gender bias. Though the actual OECD press release that I linked states the teacher bias more clearly than either the source material or the internationalednews article.
That Israel study is gold though!
Unlike the other studies concerning teacher bias which had all read the prior literature and said basically "as expected, teachers mark down boys...", the Israel study actually notes in the abstract that contrary to expectations teachers don't mark down girls, rather they mark down boys
"male students face discrimination in *each* subject" is right there in the abstract
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Those are all good points. I haven't read them yet as I have only just gotten back from work.
If that is the case, I'll leave it to you to cite the Israel study. By the way, I'm thinking that mentioning what you just said in the article would be a really good idea.
Good point
I'll do that
@asparkofpyrokravte lol mate check your Reddit replies xD
Same one as what?
Oh, lol
oops
Happens to everyone :3
Hrm, the Israel study, unlike the other studies is based off of two different exams, rather than the same exam randomly split into blind and non-blind groups. This serves as something of a confounding factor, since I suspect boys are simply legitimately better at standardized testing such as SATs -- for reasons completely separate from the course material. SATs are dumb. Thus the Israel paper's conclusion that boys were statistically significantly discriminated against in math is suspect
Even though that would jive with the subreddit's anecdotal experience of discrimination in math
That 0.48 of a standard deviation discrimination in literature though
Ouchie
I've certainly seen studies that indicate boys do better on standardised tests, and ones that indicate girls are better with coursework (so of course coursework has been increased over the last couple decades)
A study indicating that and the increase of coursework could possibly be included in the article
I'm not going to look for that, because my main sources for the gender bias here doesn't have this failing, both the blind and non-blind scores were the same test
The betting one was of this sort, for instance
And wasn't a standardized test either
However
In order to say that girl's issues with school environment are taken seriously
Because this goes way beyond just testing results
