Gender and Education

(Hyperlinks)

Discrimination continues to be present in the classrooms.  Studies have shown that gender discrimination in the classroom can lead to affect children’s learning abilities.  Sometimes teachers
tend to used gender to discipline children; they classify girls as being neat, and boys of being tough and strong.  There is stereotype of how boys and girls do in school, according to people girls are more likely to do well in school than boys, which is a stereotype that people still use today.

After reading so many articles about gender and education, I found very interesting stuff that made me think a lot about how we as future teachers have to learn so much about how to treat students in the classroom in a way that we don’t make students feel as different from the others. I found an article that talks about the common types of gender inequality, the effects of gender inequality, and how to prevent gender inequality in the classroom.   http://www.suite101.com/content/the-problem-of-gender-inequality-in-the-classroom-a237111

I found another article that talks about efforts to create a better environment for girls in the
education system, and why gender inequality continues to flourish. This article shows interesting researches that define who gets more attention in the classroom, according to gender.  All these
issues of gender inequality affect students abilities and how well they do in class.  Since they don’t get motivation from teachers, they tend to not take school seriously.

I never thought gender inequality could affect children so badly.  I believe everyone should be treated equally because at one point or another we are all the same.  In class, I would like to discuss ways of how to prevent gender inequality in the classroom. I found every interesting video about “school gender gap.”
