Lesson One TEXT Sexism in School（学校中的性别歧视） -Boys still get more attention than girls do By Myra and David Sadker If a boy calls out in class, he gets the teacher’s attention. If a girl calls out in class, she is told to raise her hand before speaking. 如果一个男孩在课堂上喊出来，他会得到老师的关注，如果一个女孩在课堂上喊出来，她会被告之先举手再发言。 Teachers praise boys more than girls, give boys more academic help and are more likely to accept boys’ comments during classroom discussions. These are only a few examples of how teachers favor boys. Through this advantage boys increase their chances for better education and possibly higher pay and quicker promotions. Although many believe that classroom sexism disappeared in the early 70s, it hasn’t. 老师表扬男孩比女孩多，会给男孩更多的学业帮助，老师更能接受男孩在课堂讨论中评论。这只是一些老师怎样偏爱男孩的例子。通过这样的优势，男生就能增加更好的教育机会，可能得到高工资或者晋级快。虽然许多人认为课堂歧视在70年代早就消失了，但它并没有消失。 Education is not a spectator sport. Numerous researchers, most recently John Goodlad, former dean of education at the University of California at Los Angeles and author of “A Place Called School,” have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes enhance learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom and score lower than boys on SATs. 教育不是一种供认观看的体育运动。许多研究者，最近的有加州大学洛杉矶分校前教育系系主任John Goodlad，也是“一个被称为学校的地方”的作者，他们表明，当学生参与课程讨论时，他们对学校持有更积极的态度，这种积极的态度能增进学习。女生在课堂上比较被动，在高考中比男生得分低，这决不是一种巧合。 Most teachers claim that girls participate and are called on in class as often as boys. But a three-year study we recently completed found that this is not true; vocally, boys clearly dominate the classroom. When we showed teachers, and administrators a film of a classroom discussion and asked who was talking more, the teachers overwhelmingly said the girls were. But in reality, the boys in the film were out-talking the girls at a ratio of three to one. 大多数老师称，女生参加课堂讨论和男生一样，也经常被提问。但刚刚完成的长达三年的研究发现，不是这样的，男生显然会控制整个课堂氛围，当我们给老师、行政人员看了课堂讨论视频，问谁说的多时，老师
