- eksemplar 8y agoI agree, but I think the headline for sons wouldn’t need the math bit, as boys apparently don’t gravitate away from math because they are better at something else. But sons surely need to practice, in general, because right now women are doing a lot better at higher education. At least in my country, women are increasingly getting into academia while more and more young men don’t even finish the Danish equivalent of high-school. I’m not a supporter of equality of outcome, but I think we need to get better at making sure everyone has a better opportunity for fulfilling their potential. Regardless of what they want to do. If that’s making girls practice math, then that’s a good idea.
- Viliam1234 8y agoSuggesting that boys might be better at something would be politically incorrect, of course. One is allowed to talk about gender differences only if they are in favor of women. Well, one could simply write an article about "helping your kids practice math", without mentioning gender, but I guess that would generate less clicks. Whatever; my kids are all girls, so I am going to do math with them... exactly the same way I would with boys.
