That's trivially not true. Girls do better overall, but it's a long, long way from being bimodal. Do you have another reason for being against streaming?

- bjourne 1y agoIf it's trivially untrue find me a Western country where boys generally do better than girls. I'll wait!
- jadamson 1y agoAs I said, there is a vast overlap between boys and girls. Boys even do better in some subjects, notably mathematics and (some) sciences[1]. In the same way that if we streamed per-subject, there'd still be a significant number of girls in the top set for maths, if we streamed by performance overall, there'd be a lot of boys in the top schools. Nothing about streaming implies gender segregation, so I'll ask again: do you have another reason for being against it?

- bjourne 1y agoThat's why I wrote "generally". There are many countries, subjects, and years of education to compare so you can always find some statistic that bucks the trend.
