Sexual discrimination against men in education annoys me the most?We Answered:
I know that at my son's high school, the boys are told by the female guidance officer to get into school-based apprenticeships and traineeships. This means that they'd only do 3 days of actual school work and 1 day is at college and 1 day for work as an apprentice.She steers the girls towards more academic based subjects which result in what Australia calls OP subjects. This would get them into university.
This school is proud of it's academic reputation and discourages boys from excelling as girls are seen as the more academic achievers to keep up the school's reputation.
I don't think it's fair that this guidance officer naturally assumes that boys are dumbed down and can't achieve like girls can.
Edit: That's good that you wrote to the politicians. I have joined with other parents and will make a formal complaint to my son's school. Our kids had their interviews with the G/O recently and it was supposed to be 10 minutes each. The boy's interviews ran about 5 minutes. She was not interested in the boys because they are considered under-achievers.

Can someone please do me a favor and edit my essay for grad school?We Answered:
My stuff is in [brackets].I am applying to the Master’s in Social Work Program because my goal is to improve the lives and enhance the well-being of individuals that are discriminated, disadvantaged [against], and poor.
I am particularly concerned about helping change the lives of our most vulnerable individuals[:] troubled and neglected youth.
However [get rid of "However", you don't need it], I want to be a social worker to make a positive difference in their lives and help them function more effectively with their problems.
It is my sincere hope to contribute on how to best counsel and care for at[-]risk youth.
The adolescents were physically assault[ed] and self-harm themselves [would do themselves harm].

If You Can't Afford Private Education For Your Kids Are You Better Not To Have Kids?We Answered:
Carbuncle, I agree with you. I am considering starting a family, but education is one of the BIG things which is holding me back and making wonder if this would be the right decision.I am not poor, but it would be an incredible financial struggle to send any children to private school. But where I live, the state schools are sadly not up to scratch. Primary schools seem ok, but secondary schools do not give a good standard of teaching.
I know this because I know people who are teachers. They spend most of the lesson trying to get the class under control, let alone teaching them anything. The pupils swear at the teachers and sometimes even physically attack them. The mass opinion of the kids is that it is uncool to want to learn, and peer group pressure would pull even the most well-meaning child in the wrong direction. The kids I see coming out of school at 3.30 throw things at passers by, smoke, shout, swear and are generally rude and intimidating.
Even in the better off areas around here, the schools are not brilliant. I would have to move house to a much more expensive area just to ensure a basic standard of education... but with the housing market in it's current meltdown, I cannot sell my house so that is impossible.
So... I either live on the breadline to ensure my child can actually learn something at a private school, or I let them go into the chaotic and substandard state school system.
With this dilemma, I am seriously wondering whether to have kids at all. The decision is the most difficult I have ever had to make.
BTW, to the people who went to state schools and say they did ok, I don't argue that you did - I went to state school myself. But sadly, things in schools these days are very different to how they used to be.
EDIT: Rich B, you have just strengthened my argument: "Private schools will always perform better, given that they can afford to cherry-pick the best teachers as well as having the ability to select the most able pupils." Plus, as for your suggestion of home schooling, how am I supposed to earn a living if I am tutoring my child at home during the working day?

My new class has no respect for me, any ideas on behavioural discipline?We Answered:
put the responsibility for their actions in their hands. try and take the trouble makers out (if you have time, or set up a conference at lunchtime maybe) anyways, ask them questions like...what is happening? why do you think i have asked you to talk to me now? do you think your bahviour is appropriate for the classroom? who are you affecting by your actions? how are you affecting them? what were you thinking at the time? what have you thought about since the incident?use lots of "i" statements - when you say "no" and act disrespectfully, i feel...
Then, once they have admitted they have been an ***, you can ask questions like how can you avoid this situation in the future, what can you do to help them be more respectful and of course, work out together what an appropriate consequence (not punishment) for their behaivour is (they might be the ones suggesting detention, whereas you want them to pick up rubbish).
another thing, don't lower yourself yto their level by taking the challenge of disciplining them. give them a time out, separate them from the group which is feeding their ego, then go through the chat. also, you might want to praise up any and all good behaviour and be less vocal about the not so good. be strong, yes, but don't give negative reinforcement either...hope that makes sense
anyways, the point is - don't scold, it's just a conversation to work things out. don't take any crap either - if you have to have a class meeting, do it. this way sort of gets them to take responsibility for their actions and keeps up the relationships between you and them without them feeling like you are the monarch of evil, and you getting all stressed over them. good luck!
