Why are women graduating college at rates far higher than men? It used to be that the best students were always boys. They were always the honor students and did best in the SAT's and AP classes. But in the past 30 years this has been totally turned around. Now most valedictorians are girls, and most colleges have a majority female population. So why are women outperforming men in college (and high school as well)?
We will watch the following video clip

So what do you think? How can we get more males to graduate college? Post a comment.
I think the only way we can get more males to have a class that has a female professor or offer other programs that interest them.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the reason why women are out numbering the amount of males graduating college is because more are entering college. Female students want to improve themselves and get a degree because if they do not receive a degree they will be employed in a lower-paying job.
