This is something close to home for me, I have 3 boys, the education system doesn’t seem to cater to a lot of boys.

    Sounds about right. Most people I (used to) know are feminist at least as an adjective, and want equality and/or equitable outcomes for all.

    That post you saw had an outlook that’s pretty weird/radicalized imo. None of us have been alive for centuries (unless we’re counting the undead).

      Thanks for the reply.

      I am quite passionate about education, I also have 3 young boys so I’m biased toward quality education for boys, that we seem to be failing at.

        Yeah, I can understand that. There’s a young boy in my family and I really don’t want him to be disadvantaged by the system.

        Not sure what it’s like now, but when I was working I got the impression that the secondary system was setting up some people to fail. We really needed more equitable teaching across deciles.
