Gender Inequality In Middle School

The university of California, Berkeley states “there is a fundamental issue in our society. They also state that the stubborn roots… groups at the bottom of the ladder of educational achievement...” (Taylor and Francis). This happens around the world to millions to thousands of people. Schools sometimes make a group for girls and guys so they can connect and make new friends. Gender inequality is more present in different educational situations, meaning it could be worse in some areas more than others. Most people have noticed that students have grown from being talkative to being quiet. Also, people have noticed a change in girls in elementary and middle school, but they have notice that in elementary girls are more outspoken and volunteer to do more things and in middle school they are way more quiet and would rather listen than reading it.

As a woman I have noticed that in school teachers don’t let a female and males go to the bathroom at the same time, I never understood why and maybe it’s because of the inequality of men and women.

In school, as a woman if I need to go to the bathroom, but it’s not emergent to ask to go to the bathroom, I won’t go, but if I ask to go to the bathroom, it’s for a reason I’m a woman, we have those months we can’t control so using the bathroom or, being equal to someone of the other gender will make us feel much better all women want is to feel just as equal as everybody else. It’s been stated that over the past decades schools have tried to equal out the amount of attention men and women get but there still are education gaps in the education. But as the women are being more equal the men are starting to fall in their education as well. Time magazine states that boys are more likely to be expelled from preschool than girls in k-12 boys have a 70% rate for suspension likely due to defence and

insubordination. The ways I take it is all guys want is to be as equal as the girls are and when the boys are equal the girls want to be as equal as them and on and on. Having an equal society people would have a higher success rate and maybe a better success at getting to be a professor in college one day. Also, most people who have different sexuality, like being in the LGBTQ+ spectrum are not being classified as “human” in most schools which makes them not feel as equal as they want to be, all people want is to be themselves and most people see them as gross and make them feel unhappy all the time. It’s another way students and teachers can connect and they will hopefully have 2-3 supporters and could hopefully make their education better. Many people don't know how to treat people equally because of the way their parents taught them to treat the LGBTQ+ society and may christians see them as they are not going to heaven. I know schools treat students differently, but most schools treat them kinda like there in a jail and can't leave unless there's a valid reason on why you need to go to the bathroom it's kinda like asking them to bring in your medical records so your teachers know why you have to go to the bathroom. I find inequality very harsh and I wish people would try harder to be more appreciative to the people that were put on the earth for a reason, I for one know how difficult it is to be accepted because all my parents wanted was a boy and I was given to them as a female and they weren't really happy about it. People have tried making schools better at equaling them out with groups. This helps but the more they go to it the more they go to it the less equal they feel. The less equal someone feels the more likely their grades will go down the drain.
