"Reader's will be stunned at the overwhelming evidence of sexism the author's provide." "The authors' argument is weakened somewhat by their own statement that after 12 years of ...damaging treatment, it still turns out that 53 percent of post-secondary students in this country are women. Still, 'Failing at Fairness' should be helpful to parents, some of whom ought to consider buying their daughters calulators rather than dolls for their next birthdays." "We need many more books like this one, that draw into the foreground the fact that sexism in the schools is crippling America's leadership and productivity." Publisher's noteFailing at Fairness, the result of two decades of research, shows how gender bias makes it impossible for girls to receive an education equal to that given to boys. Girls' learning problems are not identified as often as boys' are Boys receive more of their teachers' attention Girls start school testing higher in every academic subject, yet graduate from high school scoring 50 points lower than boys on the SAT Hard-hitting and eye-opening, Failing at Fairness should be read by every parent, especially those with daughters. This hard-hitting indictment of our education system, based on 20 years of research, provides shocking evidence of the gender bias that prevents girls from receiving the same education as boys. The Sadkers also show what parents, teachers, and students can do to reshape the system. Author lecture schedule. Annotation"Failing at Fairness" examines the suppression of girls' intelligence and enthusiasm in classrooms and the emphasis placed on female appearance and accommodation. This phenomenon is found at all levels of schooling, from the primary grades through graduate school.
