Regarding the education of American boys, the news of late seems rather bleak: our boys are struggling in school. As Richard Reeves of the American Institute for Boys and Men points out, 45,000 fewer boys than girls are graduating each year from high school, amounting to a gender gap of 6%. The gender gap in higher education is even wider, with young men earning only 42% of the degrees. In the average school district, according to Reeves, boys are almost a grade level behind girls in English language arts.

ReplyDeletei wish that they could bring back scouting the way it use to be. it taught young men strong moral values, a sense of chivalry and self sufficiency that has been lost today in this time.
ReplyDeleteit's not all about me, it's all about helping others. that's what real men do.
i don't do anything for myself, i do it for my family and neighbors. if it was not for them i would be a bum sleeping under a bridge.

Tell me more about these real men. Do they die in zionist wars?
Deletesome people can't stop...
Delete"45,000 fewer boys than girls are graduating each year from high school". So when 45,000 boys become trans-girls the numbers will be even.

ReplyDelete"Nationally, women make up 57.3% of bachelor’s degree recipients but only 38.6% of STEM bachelor’s degree recipients"
IOW, women get useless degrees and work in HR or some compliance job.

DeleteAbsolutely, but our educational system will have to be completely overhauled if not torn asunder and rebuilt from scratch and I don't see that happening in 4 yrs. Good old fashioned reading, writing, and arithmetic has to be the basis with a complete lack of this dei bullshit. Two bathrooms, everyone dresses properly as to their sex, and the pledge said every morning before class. That's a start, but none of it will work if it doesn't start at home! There's your problem! There's a lot of parents that support dei, trans philosophy, blm and the rest of that garbage. Huge mountain of crap to get over in just 4 yrs. This has to be a long-term plan to hold the 3 branches of government for longer than 4 yrs and the Republicans just aren't up to it! But yeah, men need to be men again and girls need to be girls again. Let's take some of that money we're blowing on Ukraine, dig in, and change this mess back to what it used to be! The greatest country in the world!
ReplyDeleteWhen a field becomes saturated with women, men leave. News at 11! "Higher" education has been successfully feminized, and men have consequently stopped attending, in droves. The consequences are manifold, and too many for one comment. But yeah. Feminism, and men's toleration thereof, ruins everything. Anyone shocked by this hasn't got the sense God almighty gave to a particularly dim goose.
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason PUA's and the manosphere has been so successful. Younger male millennials (zillenials, really), Gen-Z, and even older members of gen-alpha are looking for truth in a world of lies. God willing they'll find Christ, and not the churchian version, while they're hunting for the red pill.
I can happily say my 17 year old grandson will be graduating from HS this year as a junior... Then he will be attending a trade/tech school for electrical and HVAC... I had him catching a ball by the time he could stand up and he has played on his school's football teams since he was in 8th grade, 2 years of recreational football and baseball before that.
ReplyDeleteHe's not wasting his time or money on some college that won't teach him shit about making a real honest living for his future.

i wish your grandson the best of luck, it sounds like he had a proper upbringing.
Deletepeople tend to look down at the trades until they have to hire one, not cheap, they make hundreds of dollars an hr on average.
my motto for years was " pay me because everything at my house works fine and i have others waiting in line behind you" 40 yrs in HVAC and PLBG taught me that when folks are hot or cold, have water coming from a wall or their shit won't flush, money is no object to them. just get it up front. a wealthy person will stiff you faster than a poor person will. poor people realize the value of hard work. rich people live on credit that they never pay off.
Thanks, he,s grown into a fine, strong, intelligent young man that knows how and is not scared to work.. I have no doubt his future will be great.
DeleteI'm very proud of him and love him very much

Jr. college should be his best friend. He should add a couple of Accounting/Finance classes and a couple of Management and at least one logic/philosophy class. He going to be a tradesman so he's going to be seen as easy fodder to the banksters until he talks their talk and can read financial statements. Know your enemy Sun Tsu said.

So... the author would probably be happy if the boys were even almost as "manly" as my grandmother.
ReplyDeleteWell, grandma used to be a lumberjack. And got a "non-STEM" university degree, officially, but I do think agriculture is pretty up there in usefulness and realism anyway. The degree was good enough to get her a job as a science teacher after urban development ate our old fields anyway.
Why try to be a competitive male, when DEI screws your chances of getting s job over DEI candidates?
ReplyDeleteRepeal the 19th!
ReplyDeleteI would hope that many young men subscribe to the common sense Mike Rowe preaches. Have you tried lately to employ skilled craftsmen? The ones I employed recently were swamped with work and expensive. I had to get in line. ET in Dixie.
ReplyDeletemy son got a sports scholarship to a snooty college but could only hack attending with spoiled rich kids for a year, he worked as a hvac tech for a year, which was easy since he had been working on cars, transplanting late model EFI engines into classic cars, and helping me with plumbing and electrical and other construction stuff,
ReplyDeletethen he attended a local private welding school and became a certified welder and did that for a year or so and then went back to the local state vo tech school and got his CDL , and got hired at 20 years old by a local heavy haul trucking company,
two years later he was hauling 16 wide, 99 foot long, $50 million dollar loads.
he's home every weekend and made more money last year than I did.
