Understanding the Organization of the Text (1) Introduction (para 1)
It has been proven repeatedly that the various types of behavior, emotions, and interests that constitute being masculine and feminine are patterned by both heredity
and culture.
(2) There is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. (para. 2-4) Supporting evidence
A. Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2) i) Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning process. ii) The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudes
and go on to higher achievement. iii) Two examples:
a. In many of the former all-women’s colleges, the boys were taking over the class-
room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably. b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed
in law
and medical school classrooms in recent years. B. Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyped gender roles.
(para. 3) i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in
class.
ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the
girls were given the task of putting the materials away.
C. Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teacher’ assumption.
(para 4)
i) The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math and
science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills. ii) Three examples:
a. American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in
math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.
b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who develop reading problems.
c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do
equally well in reading.
(3) The educational bias begins at home. (para 5) A. Supporting evidence:
i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than
girl preschoolers.
ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills, while
girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to
be
approved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.
B. The consequence when these lessons carry over from the home to the classroom: Girls
are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form
and neatness of their work than its content, and more anxious about being right in their
answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original. C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child’s waking
hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional
and expected mold.
