Never said I was using facts
. Work in mid. Class sch and females v positive about maths and science. Other schools not so unfortunately. -
I'd need to see evidence of schools discouraging girls from maths & science. I'd be very surprised given beliefs on cultural conditioning.
-
Not schools. Schools really push it now. No science knowledge at home and seen as difficult and not for them
-
A working class anti-intellectualism? I'd agree with this. Middle class kids, Asian and Jewish kids doing fine.

I would agree but in some areas the attitude remains unfortunately. No real push from parents in that direction. It's hard so don't try
-
But not by gender! Parents either encourage kids to work hard or not. Its working class white boys falling behind most.
-
Agree. Not a scientific study just a lack of push to the sciences. Out of their comfort zone for parents.
-
I agree.We're suffering a general lack of interest in STEM subjects & have to rely on attracting doctors, scientists, engineers from abroad.
-
But some claim this is gendered & its only girls being discouraged or inadequately supported despite abundant evidence they're doing better
