Luann Againn by Greg Evans for October 21, 2022

Boy, Greg has been using that squiggle on a pop can for a long time.

Is this still true? It was when I went to school in the 60’s and 70’s. Girls would have their hands up to answer a question and the teacher would call on a boy who didn’t have his hand up. This was often a female teacher too. It was very discouraging!

It has been my experience that boys are more willing (and able) to publicly make fools of themselves.

Teachers wish to teach.

When boys have made it abundantly clear they need help, only a bad teacher would not focus on them.

It seems to me that this is because the girls tended to be “good”, or at least would give that impression, were certainly paying better attention, and the teachers would assume that there was no problem with their understanding of whatever it was. The boys would naturally tend to be more squirrely and much less likely to be paying attention (I know I was that way, and I was a good student!). It is/was probably much more obvious that a boy was having a problem with something. Kind of a control thing by the teacher too.

Awwww the poor girls. i get really tired of hearing the suffering.
