Teachers and parents often miss the subtle signs of sexism in classrooms. Through firsthand observations and up-to-the-minute research, \u003ci\u003eStill Failing at Fairness\u003c\/i\u003e brings the gender issue into focus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eStill Failing at Fairness \u003c\/i\u003eis \"a fascinating look into America's classrooms\" (National Association of School Psychologists).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Sadker,Karen R.
