Boys left to fail at school because attempts to help them earn wrath of feminists, says ex-Ucas chief
'Britain’s education system is failing to tackle the “astonishing” underperformance of boys as feminists have made the topic “taboo”, the former head of the university admissions service has warned. '
'Mary Curnock Cook, who was chief executive of Ucas until last year, said the fact that boys are falling behind in education is a national scandal – yet it is such an “unfashionable” topic to discuss that it has become “normalised”. '
'Girls outperform boys in all aspects of education, from primary school to GCSEs and A-level results. '
'Last year, 57 per cent of women went to university compared to 43 per cent of men, a gap that has widened significantly over the last decade.“I just find it unacceptable to think that it’s OK to let boys fall further and further behind in education and allow the gap to get bigger,” Ms Curnock Cook said.“Boys underachieving in education is becoming pretty normalised - everyone knows it yet no one is doing anything about it.” She said that other disparities in education – such as the gulf between rich and poor children – are narrowing, but the gap between boys and girls is getting wider.“In about ten years’ time the gap between boys and girls will be worse than rich and poor. '
' That is astonishing really.”'

If I ever have a son, I might just form my own school for boys. Classes will include hunting, fishing, weightlifting, forging weapons, wilderness survival, math, science, computer programming, European history, archery, car repair, stoicism, and avoiding divorce rape. It's time for men to completely seperate themselves from this pozzed feminist dystopia.

You forgot marksmanship. Marksmanship is extremely important for the developing male brain.

Maybe the only way for a "boy" to get any assistance today is to become a temporary "trans" use the loopholes in the absurd/idiotic pro-feminist law to get the help and leverage which comes with the benefits of positive discrimination and then once successful return to his old biological self, that is, male.

If it becomes legal in the country I live to self-identify your gender without any doctors assessments needed I'll be changing my gender to female.
In the current political situation its the best defense against violent political groups (defend yourself and claim trans abuse), anti-male government policies (getting access to financial or social aid is easier) and avoiding anti-male treatment by the police (automatic belief of guilt if male, longer prison sentences if convicted, and if I get the chance to be in a women's prison rather than a men's prison I'll happily be a monk rather than a victim of the various gangs).

Well I'm glad more people are waking up. I've been pointing this out to people for years! But nobody wanted to hear it.zzzzz. This kind of stuff started in the 60's and 70's. All part of the plan to feminize men making a weaker world, easier to take control of and dumb down.

Being afraid of feminists is as pathetic as being afraid of ducks.

They've literally been changing schooling over the past 40+ years specifically to make sure boys stop outperforming girls and other demographics. (This is true. In all corners of the Western Hemisphere. They don't even try to hide it.)
They didn't do all that to start changing it all back now. The only thing that's got them worried is the increasing amount of white male "autism" on the internet derailing their cultural subversion. But their own hardliners are stopping any attempts to "bring boys back into the bosom of society".
Keep an eye out for the term "underachiever". This is their code for "men we fucked over, who have opted out of the mainstream, taken up a largely NEET lifestyle and are currently full-time shitposting us to death on new media in revenge".

This has been going on a long time. I think it is why we are seeing our societies fall apart.

Yep, "No Child Left Behind" was very late in that game. Just the other day someone posted about Scotland's version called "Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC)". Always coded in a way that they're attempting to help "every child" by somehow raising up the laggers and dummies, but what it really entails (like Common Core - which strips logical and common sense thinking from problem solving) is gimping white male academic performance so the other students don't look so bad in comparison. Changing teaching styles so white boys are a just as stymied, if not more so, than female or non-white students by arcane, backwards and counter-intuitive solutions (that must be followed and demonstrated in all tests - no using that problematic male brain of yours, sonny), pushing for rote learning of these new un-natural systems rather than using critical thought and actual problem solving skills. Of course, shit where females naturally shine like English, have been given free reign to draw out the wildest of meanings from any given body of text in the service of cultural critique and oppression narratives.
To understand the logic, just look at the history of the Qwerty vs Dvorak keyboard on typewriters. When the machines couldn't handle the speed of early contemporary typists, rather than improve the device itself, they gimped the typists by switching the most commonly used keys around to slow them down enough to match the tolerances of the typewriter. This is also how Macs kept their fake "performance" lead during the Mac vs PC wars too. They gimped the users into very strictly controlled behaviors (Jobs called this "End to End Control"), allowing a performance boost at the expense of real innovation, offset with marketing-based ego-stroking and design aesthetics to keep their customers loyal and invested in their consumer choice. While PCs, for all the evils of MS (and thanks to Compaq cleaning up their shitty early code), allowed users to dictate their own pace and usage of the devices with near-limitless customization. Getting computers into most businesses and homes with the first spreadsheet killer app. Getting computers into the hands of a new generation of kids. Thus giving us a generation or more of coders and engineers. Rather than dumb, happy, consumers mixed in with a small vocal army of fart-huffing design-fags.
The Modern (Marxist/Globalist) State wants a population of Mac users who respect and love the End To End Control paradigm and are obsessed with appearances above all else, not a population of disgusting PC nerds who like to pull things apart, see how they work, then try to improve and innovate and revolutionize (in it's real sense).
