Speculatively, even things as simple as boys being more likely to turn an assignment in late could contribute to results like this. How conceivable is it that this is just the effect of gender-aligned behavior differences?
- commandlinefan 4y ago> boys being more likely to turn an assignment in late Sure, but that runs against the popular narrative of "no biological differences". If we accept that boys are more likely to "x", we have to also accept that _girls_ are more likely (or less likely to) "y", which opens all sorts of pandora's boxes. They're looking for an explanation that discounts biology.
- inkcapmushroom 4y agoWho said there was a biological cause to turning in papers late? Seems much more a learned difference to me.
- tqi 4y agoFrom the article, the comparisons were made between classroom exams (graded by the teachers) vs national exams (standardized grading), not homework assignments.
- Glyptodon 4y agoNet potentially gendered behavior differences, like asking for regrades or points back from the classroom teacher, could still exist. But yeah, thought about classroom grade not classroom test grade, because I didn't carefully curate things in my head.
