I break up fights. Heck ...Kevin,...you anarchist!<br /><br />I break up fights.

Myself I think the feminization of schools are turning off boys and leading to lower graduation rates. Heck some places don’t allow the kids to play dodge-ball, kick-ball or tag because some kids don’t get picked or are always the first ones eliminated. If they eliminate competition on the playground I guess they have done away with weekly spelling bee competitions and math problem competitions in the classroom. Then again these competitions might still live on but if they do everyone probably gets a trophy for participating. <br /><br />Heck if I were in charge of the playgrounds I would be slow to break up any fight where the boys seem evenly matched … once they suffer though a couple of good punches to the face or ribs and realize that it does not tickle they won’t be so fast to throw the first punch the next time. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/cr_48.htm<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2005-10-19-male-college-cover_x.htm<br /><br />http://educationnext.org/gender-gap/<br /><br />http://gw-bw.com/2009/04/30/dodgeball-ban-in-schools-inbounds-or-automatic-out/<br /><br />http://scaredmonkeys.com/2006/10/18/tag-know-outlawed-in-schools-whats-next-dodgeball/Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-7522442486827706592011-11-22T18:26:56.856-05:002011-11-22T18:26:56.856-05:00DA,

In 1980s there were very few private (mom-and-pop or big) schools and most children attended .gov schools, where only native language is primary (all subjects taught in native lang) - english is just one subject.<br /><br />.gov wouldn't dare making entire curriculum english. what happens? some mom-pop starts private schools with english curriculum,(as english education results in higher employment) - the english education revolution starts.<br /><br />lo-behold, in 2011 100% middle class and above, (even significant percent of poor) send their kids only to private schools. <br /><br />Free market, every street in population dense areas in india have a english(all subjects taught in english) school now. So the cost of education is not an issue (only becomes issue with elite private schools). <br /><br />for every price bracket, there is a private school.<br /><br />And you have literally huge selection of schools to choose from. <br /><br />And the parents shop for the best, just like in free market.<br /><br />They use different metrics to gauge the schools (boils down to "will my kid get admission to MIT/Harvard in US or IITs in India")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
