Teachers and parents often miss the subtle signs of sexism in classrooms. Through firsthand observations and up-to-the-minute research,Still Failing at Fairnessbrings the gender issue into focus.

The authors provide an in-depth account of how girls' and boys' educations are compromised from elementary school through college, and offer practical advice for teachers and parents who want to make a positive difference. The authors examine today's pressing issues -- the lack of enforcement for Title IX, the impact of the backlash against gender equity, the much-hyped "boys' crisis," hardwired brain differences, and the recent growth of singlesex public schools. This book documents how teaching, current testing practices, and subtle cultural attitudes continue to short-circuit both girls and boys of every race, social class, and ethnicity. Hard-hitting and remarkably informative,Still Failing at Fairnessis "a fascinating look into America's classrooms" (National Association of School Psychologists)."We need many more books like this one that draw into the foreground the fact that sexism in the schools is crippling America's leadership and productivity." -- Naomi Wolf, author ofThe Beauty Myth"Provides hard evidence of the discrimination women face from the first day of school." -- Patricia Ireland, former president, National Organization for Women"Required reading for anyone interested in sex bias." --The New York Times"An eye-opener for any parent or teacher truly interested in equality." --San Francisco Chronicle<< less
