Girls and boys are fundamentally different animals, they learn in different ways, and we are not dealing with those differences, ... We tend to treat all children equally. Girls on the whole look like good students, while boys are not engaged in learning. |
I can't see how public institutions can defend that as serving the public interest. It denies the talent and the ambition of kids who are born into less-fortunate circumstances. |
it's as much a women's issue as a man's issue. |
Most women have men in their lives, and if those males are floundering in some way — if they are laid off at the factory or the son is acting out in school — it's upsetting. |
These kids are not being properly counted. I think the state of Washington has undeserved egg on its face. |
