        @sapinker: Boys also would benefit from more "all boys schools", and more male teachers. Research is abundant, what's stopping us?

        .@sapinker For the same reason that the tech world treats women as defective men. Those in charge set the norms.

        @sapinker no doubt it has to do with the cootie coefficient.

        @sapinker same problem in Sweden. Aristotle treated girls like defective boys, does it all come down to revenge? #justkidding

        @sapinker The phrase "modest proposal" should be used sparingly in articles about children. #delicious

        @sapinker Not just American schools. I feel since "Men are from Mars..." there has been an attitude of "men should be more like women".
