THE CLASSROOM is a mans world, where boys get two thirds of the teachers attention — even when they are in a minority— taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck e claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that disc rimination against girls is so deeply in co educational schools that single sex classes are the only case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary schooland college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers time was allocated to girls. “She doesnt like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher regarded two thirds of the teachers time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “Its important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise,they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.

If youve had your fill, give your empty cup a quick twist a sort of wiggle—as you hand it back.
