I want to complain about this content:

Rubbish BG When there was a bias in the 11 plus to make sure more boys than girls went to grammar schools people like you were not grumbling. Educatio is not feminised, it offers equal access to all. If girls are easier to teach than boys, there is only one reason and that is that there has been a serious shift in the way male children , especially working class white children, are brought up. Boys used to know when to knuckle down and work and to be able to concentrate., They used to be capable of reading and being neat and working hard. Now they are so spoiled, especially by their fathers, that they are inattentative boisterous little oiks. The lad culture which permeates mostly the non academic strata of society is responsible, the idea that it is natural for little boys to be pushy ,always on the go and not taught to sit down and behave is an entirely modern one and football and the media are to blame. The time when white working class boys need treating as special cases is when they enter nursery school , when they need a sharp lesson in behaving properly so they can learn and make the most of their talents. Also, there is a case for saying that fewer working class males eneter university because they are more likely to get apprenticeships or jobs which pay enough to make tuition fees and student loans look a bad risk.
