Gender and Education

To find information on this subject wasn't easy at all. Most said boys were smarter in math and girls were smarter in English and history. I personally think it varies from what i have seen in all my years of being school. The girls in my schools usually had more drive and motivation in school and in that may have been considered smarter but that doesn't necessarily mean that the girls were smarter. Until i actually see statistics and results that are accurate and posted i cant really believe that gender plays a role in the subject a student takes. It is more to do with drive, environment, and smartness of the student learning.
I think in order to change what is happening teacher need to make boys and girls equal in every single classroom, make sure that they are never grouped separately, and make both genders want to learn the subject and have drive. Everything must be equality including things such as being called on in class, same push, and same work that is given in the classroom. The children cant be stereotyped before they even walk into the room because it plays to an unfair disadvantage to one gender or the other. I personally have a reference to this with one of my high school teachers. She would always judge girls as smarter than boys and pick on the girls more than boys. This even played a factor in things such as test grades because it was all a mental mind state. The teacher would look as the name on the test see it was a girl and already be thinking that the paper was good and when a boys test was looked at nothing much was expected. I would like to see a classroom that gives gender equality and does all of those things that i said above and then show the statistics of the grades and i will believe whatever the results are even though i feel it would be different in every school.
