Factual Gaps: How the AAUW is Still Failing Our Children,
By
This review is from: Gender Gaps: Where Schools Still Fail Our Children (Paperback)
More garbage from the people who claimed there was a "crisis" in education for girls when in fact female standards of behavior and learning enforced by women teachers and administrators were damaging our boys. The AAUW has no shame or honesty.

Gender Gaps is VERY informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gender Gaps: Where Schools Still Fail Our Children (Paperback)
I am in an education class and chose to do a report on the book, Gender Gaps. This book is full of eye opening information that should be interesting to everyone in the education feild. It has been very well reseached and contains alot of surprizing figures about the difference in education recieved by boys versus girls. Although the many facts and figures make this book somewhat of a difficult and dry read, the information and helpful suggestions more than make the book worth the reader's time.

The book is pretty boring.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gender Gaps: Where Schools Still Fail Our Children (Paperback)
Overall, We believe that the book is very informative and could be helpful for those going into the education field. But it is difficult to sit and read the whole thing through because it is a report and is therefore just facts and recommendations. We do believe that it would be beneficial for future educators to read it so they might know what's going on out there and how to help make things better.
