alex-of-macedonia: alicelostinneverland: merlinwhosuperpotterlock: I actually think this was pretty responsible. Rather than banning it outright, which would result in kids wanting to rebel even more, she offers it in her home where she can control the amount people drink. Good on ya, Mrs George. You’re a cool mom. She also offered her daughter a condom when she was hooking up with a guy instead of freaking out and kicking the guy out of the house. That’s how my parents were, in regards to alcohol and weed. They preferred me to experiment with them rather than in a potentially unsafe environment with friends who may or may not end up having my best interests at heart. I still have an ‘eh’ attitude toward drinking most of the time.This is how I will be with my children, since it obviously worked with me.

[F]or the first several years the SAT was offered, males scored higher than females on the Math section but females achieved higher scores on the Verbal section. ETS policy-makers determined that the Verbal test needed to be “balanced” more in favor of males, and added questions pertaining to politics, business and sports to the Verbal portion. Since that time, males have outscored females on both the Math and Verbal sections. Dwyer notes that no similar effort has been made to “balance” the Math section, and concludes that, “It could be done, but it has not been, and I believe that probably an unconscious form of sexism underlies this pattern. When females show the superior performance, ‘balancing’ is required; when males show the superior performance, no adjustments are necessary.”

And then people urge me everything is fine, of course it is, when you’re ignoring statistics that is.
