		<description>Where did you get these statistics? Please stop perpetrating this fraud. Black boys need help. This is true. Black girls, however, also need help. On just about every national measure, from reading and math scores, to drop out and supspension rates, to college-going rates, to incarceration rates, which disaggregrate data by sex and race, Black girls are not doing much better than Black males. The margin is very narrow. Also, with respect to college-going rates, only 36% of the 32% of the Black girls who graduate from high school continue to college. This group - age 18 - 25 has higher college-going rates among Black girls than Black boys. When you look at college-going rates among 25 - 34 year olds, you will find that Black men far outnumber Black females in college attendance rates. Yes, when the small percentage of Black girls who attend college actually get there, they do graduate in higher numbers. Their percentages, however, are small when you look at all Black girls, and you compare them to other females and male groups. Both black boys and black girls need help. For statistical sources: U.S. Department of Education, National Center of Education Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau. The data is clear.</description>

		<description>from rick lynn mayfieldga@bellsouth.net&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes, my learning learning theory (will go to all on request) shows just why Males of all races are falling behind while Females are surging ahead.  It provides us with tools to help all students improve their lives. This is due to great differences in mental, emotional, social, academic support over time along with large differences in overaggression allowed by society toward one group from day one as opposed to overprotection of another group from day one.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;By redefining average stress as layers of mental frictions we can then see how all of us through differential treatment and neglect greatly affect thinking, learning, motivation, and accumulation of knowledge and skills over time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The nineteenth century belief Males should be strong is still with us for all Males, both Black and White.  This begins from day one.  Notice if you will on your own how very young boys are treated as opposed to very young girls. This differential treatment is maintained throughout and is increased in aggression toward Males as they get older, as opposed to continual protection and support for Female children.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There is also the belief Males of all races (even internationally) should pull themselves up by their bootstraps denying Males much positive mental, emotional, social, and academic support so as not to coddle the Male child.  This is why Female mature faster than Males.  They are given the Mental, emotional, social, and academic support from day one whereas boys collectively are not.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The combination of overprotection, support, and much positive communication from day one provides the Female with just about everything they need to succeed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The combination of neglect and aggression toward Males to make them tough provides just about everything Males need to fail in the information age.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;My site is over eight years old and even then I showed all Males Falling behind.</description>
