Failing at Fairness: How America's Schools Cheat Girls

Autor Myra Sadker David Sadker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 1995
Failing at Fairness, the result of two decades of research, shows how gender bias makes it impossible for girls to receive an education equal to that given to boys.
  • Girls' learning problems are not identified as often as boys' are
  • Boys receive more of their teachers' attention
  • Girls start school testing higher in every academic subject, yet graduate from high school scoring 50 points lower than boys on the SAT
Hard-hitting and eye-opening, Failing at Fairness should be read by every parent, especially those with daughters.

Notă biografică

Dr. Myra Sadker and Dr. David Sadker, professors at The American University (Washington, D.C.), have been involved in training programs to combat sexism and sexual harassment in over forty states and overseas. Their ground-breaking research has sparked a national response to sexism in schools, including the recent report from the American Association of University Women, "How Schools Shortchange Girls."

Descriere

This hard-hitting indictment of our education system, based on 20 years of research, provides shocking evidence of the gender bias that prevents girls from receiving the same education as boys. The Sadkers also show what parents, teachers, and students can do to reshape the system. Author lecture schedule.
