>Men are not doing as well as women in school.
When I've spoken to people about this i get a "that's because they dont try as hard" (anecdote not data).
Which has always struck me as odd. When women didn't do well it was because the institutions weren't designed to accommodate them or their educational needs.
I think for young people in school a solution could be some evaluation on how that student learns and put them into a class that caters to that style. One size fits all education doesn't work. It didn't work for young women in the past and it doesnt work young men today.
