SOCC38H3 Lecture 4: Week 4 Lecture
Document Summary
75% of children taken ritalin are boys grades, no girl problems. Statistics on scholarships: much more scholarships are reserved for women than for men. Issue about schools: the school would expect son to be on ritalin to be more calm. If this were reversed (75% of girls taking on medication), we would see much more alarming situation than boys taking medication make it seem less serious. Part 4: where are all the male teachers: women have been dominant ones in elementary, men have dominated in top administrative (principal, board of education, etc. ) If men would teach, they would teach in high school because the pay is better: there are signs of change in terms of male and female teachers more men are accepting offers for oise teacher training. 2 camps: one says there are boys in crisis, the other says boys in crisis is overstated and turned away from attention on girls, is a backlash.
