They compared anonymous standardized test scores to non anonymized classroom test scores.
Seems worth pointing out that these are not the same kinds of tests and that the latter presumably has subjective elements like partial credit for answers. I would have liked to have seen the classroom tests scored anonymously.
I'm willing to believe that people with better communication skills generally test better on tests with partial credit.

- melagonster 4y agoI can't delete it now, let it go :(
- justinclift 4y agoThey're not asking you to delete it. They're saying that your sentence is so badly written, that it's not possible to clearly work out what you were saying.
- sinuhe69 4y agoGrading in school is never anonymous so it’s hardly bias-free. My theory is teachers like obedient pupils and that’s why they prefer girls over boys.
- naijaboiler 4y agoThis is the most likely factor. A teacher has to teach a decent class size. Overall, boys are more disruptive. So yeah, it makes sense that teachers consciously or subconsciously reward those who make their work easier, by behaving better and following instructions
- spywaregorilla 4y agoThat's not the question though. If the grading were made anonymous, and girl's continued to receive better grades, that would diminish the claim a fair bit.
