Isn’t it the case that more often the poor families have no stable husband/ father? It’s no surprise that boys without dads, or with intermittent guys, have far more trouble.
I’d like to see research on the 20-40, & 40-60%, middle & middle class boys compared to top 80-100%, both sets with married bio fathers. There’s not enough research that compares poor boys of married married parents with rich & middle class boys of married parents.
My guess is that stable marriage dominates income in predicting outcomes from boys, tho very low income might dominate. Because both are likely influential, comparisons should be made separately between married bio fathers, vs other families. And the range of other family types, boyfriends, step dads, occasional bio father contact, might well become quantitatively intractable. So much social truth is too complex to allow as much definitive answers as desired.
Forget the science fiction short story writer's name, but in one short story, a child had scored quite high on the twelve year old examine. His parents guided him to the hall where he would continue.
Too late, the child found it would be his execution that he was led to. Can't have anyone above a certain IQ if everyone is to be happy, or so the story went. It was after all for the good of all.
Lombardi's quote "What the hell is going on" I have been trying to answer that. This change from boys to girls has been happening for a long time, especially in America. Many boys have become "elitiists" while girls are hungry to make a mark. Why? Probably many reasons like social media, but fueled by investing and easy money. Lo is me. Education and proper parenting.
Also meant to include: I’ll be livestreaming today Wednesday (4/9) at 8pm ET. Tune in on the Substack app.
