Chapter 2. Today's Students (Summary)


How does Gender Influence Students?

In the section, “How does Gender Influence Students?” Gene Hall put the idea of gender and education into perspective. She displayed how each of the sexes is generally better at some subjects rather than others. This theory ties back to the biology of the gender’s brains. However, a lot of the time, students don’t drive themselves in certain classes because of the fear of being ridiculed by peers. The fact that boys and girls are naturally better in some subjects than others is not regularly thought of. Nevertheless, it is important in taking into consideration for educators teaching those “gender specific” classes.
