Men and boys are experiencing various problems in education today:
- Boys not performing well in school
- Boys being marked down by female teachers
- Men abandoning tertiary education
Girls may well intrinsically do better up to about age 14.
Differences in grades tend to disappear after female teacher biases are removed.
Grad inflation tends to favour girls due to male variability.
Success in school is a poor indicator of success in life.
Primary School
Female teachers have a tendency to mark-down boys. This results in boys appearing to be performing worse than they actually are.
This is only true if education is counted merely as years of formal schooling. This narrow definition has several serious problems:
- Not every year of formal schooling is equally valuable. A year in engineering is worth more to the individual and society than a year in gender studies.
- It seems to ignore non-tertiary training such as apprenticeships. Trades are essential to the functioning of a modern society.
- Not all education is acquired formally.
School
- Tendency to mark down disruptive students, who are mostly boys.
- Clear evidence boys are marked lower for the same work standard
- Drugging due to ADHD

University/College
While it is true that women now constitute a significant majority of University students, all degrees are not equal. Men continue to dominate in degrees in STEM disciplines, which are the principal drivers of innovation in the modern economies.
