Cara. Posted August 14, 2008 ^So should the two of us form SOL's first LGBT community? We should recruite unknown1 too... Ibti, it WOULD have worked if KK's uncontrollable giggling didn't give us away ----------------------------------- Girls = Boys at Math By David Malakoff ScienceNOW Daily News 24 July 2008 Zip. Zilch. Nada. There's no real difference between the scores of U.S. boys and girls on common math tests, according to a massive new study. Educators hope the finding will finally dispel lingering perceptions that girls don't measure up to boys when it comes to crunching numbers. "This shows there's no issue of intellectual ability--and that's a message we still need to get out to some of our parents and teachers," says Henry "Hank" Kepner, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in Reston, Virginia. It won't be a new message. Nearly 20 years ago, a large-scale study led by psychologist Janet Hyde of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, found a "trivial" gap in math test scores between boys and girls in elementary and middle school. But it did suggest that boys were better at solving more complex problems by the time they got to high school. Now, even that small gap has disappeared, Hyde reports in tomorrow's issue of Science. Her team sifted through scores from standardized tests taken in 2005, 2006, and 2007 by nearly 7 million students in 10 states. Overall, the researchers found "no gender difference" in scores among children in grades two through 11. Among students with the highest test scores, the team did find that white boys outnumbered white girls by about two to one. Among Asians, however, that result was nearly reversed. Hyde says that suggests that cultural and social factors, not gender alone, influence how well students perform on tests. http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2008/724/1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted August 14, 2008 Hello everyone, why do I still see male posters :mad: Malika hello, I'm here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cynical lady Posted August 14, 2008 Gender confused.com.. Seriously why the influx of male activity in a thread that clearly states MALE FREE ZONE? Is beyond me. ** ibti the place needs deep cleaning and YES don’t forget Unknown 1 he/she is too confusing and if one doesn’t know which gender one belongs to then s/he can take that confusion elsewhere…. Malika lol, torture him my dear with all sorts of music/stuff make him run away… Ibti as for the question- dear it’s already hard as it is for rape victims to come forward due to the decades of mistreatment under the English law and now this seriously am shocked. I don’t care if she was drunk or not. Naked or not, the cut indicates that the woman was partially responsible is absurd in all levels (does that mean she is not a victim per see?). No woman deserves to be taken advantage of’ or violated in such manner irregardless of the fact she was intoxicated at the time or not Rape is a rape and no means just that NO… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
