Question

Ways in which education has become feminized?

Answer 1

The majority of teachers are women, whereas originally teaching was a man's occupation. There is a huge shortage of men teaching children now, partly because of child molestation accusations and teachers who sleep with their students. Men are now seen as "the bad guys" and fall under suspicion easily. This discourages men from taking jobs teaching.

Another thing is that mothers are more likely to be directly involved with their child's education. This means that she speaks to the teachers, attends school events, and organizes protests when curriculum or other issue that she disagrees with arises. This also means that she effects change in the school system. If fathers were directly involved, either alone or with the mother, then the changes would be different.

I'm not saying one gender is better than another, or that it is bad that mostly moms are directly involved in the education process, I am just saying that is how it is. I'm not saying that men would do a better job, just a different one. I do believe our school system would benefit if men were more involved though.

Answer 3

when the educators stopped belting girls

Answer 4

I am a professional educator, and I have worked in five countries. In Western countries, education for the past 20 years has distinctly favoured the general learning patterns of girls. There are also, in many universities, programmes to favour girls entrance into traditional male dominated courses such as engineering and science.

My view here is not politically correct, but notice that there are courses to help them to excel and advance. Any male orientated courses/programmes in schools are remedial and designed to try and get disaffected boys up to scratch in terms of literacy. Naturally the extent of such programmes varies depending on your country/state.

Boys schools generally do a better job of educating males, but co-ed schools programmes are designed with teaching girls in mind. Teaching degrees are full of electives on girls education, but lacking in any particular ways of wholly educating boys so that remedial courses become redundant.  Male teachers are required to be politically correct and subservient in gender issues.

Naurally, it is difficult to say this because it is not fashionable to think that boys learn differently from girls. In my state (Victoria, Australia) there are girls only government schools. There are NO boys only government schools and no plans for such.  Boys education cannot be advanced because, if that were done, the view is that girls would somehow suffer.

I consider that, and the abandonment of boys education to be a modern travesty, tragedy and shame.
