Shakeshaft said part of the prob lem is many educators do not realize they are treating students in a biased way. “1 don’t know anybody who wants to hurt women or hold them back;” she said. “1 don’t know white people who want to hurt people of color. But I often see people that do hurt others.” She said the way bias injects itself is usually not dramatic, but can be seen by collecting data and analyzing it. She said there is overwhelming evidence that sexism exists, includ ing the following: • In first grade, girls do better than boys. By the time they are se niors, boys are ahead; • Sexual, physical and verbal abuse of women in schools is drasti cally higher than men; • Derogatory language used in junior high and high schools is often gender-based and derogatory to ward women; • Men are shown more attention throughout all levels of education. Males are rewarded for speaking in class, but females are reprimanded for doing so; • Teaching and tests are oriented toward concepts with which men are traditionally familiar. For instance, word problems in math may be couched in terms of sports; • Characters in children’s books portray girls and boys at odds; • The structure of curriculum is based on the development process of men, not women; • Remedial courses are planned by subjects men need help in; • Aspirations of women change as they get older because of society’s emphasis on having and maintaining a family; • Studies show the best college at mosphere for women is a single-sex school and the best for men is a co educational school. She said the rea son for this is women do not have to compete for attention from teachers at single-sex schools; • Women see men in leadership roles and as role models; • Men view female life as a world of deprivation whereas women view male life as a world of opportunity. Shakeshaft said it might not seem obvious that people inject bias and divide along gender lines when say ing “Good morning boys and girls.” But if people said, “Good morning blacks and w'hites or good morning Jews and gentiles,” she said there would be a problem. Although people might be unin tentionally sexist or racist, they can change if they are presented with the information in a non-threaten ing way, she said. “Although it’s bleak, schools can change if they want to take the time to make some of the changes,” she said. Shakeshaft earned a master’s and doctorate at A&M in educational ad ministration and has been a profes sor at Hofstra University in New York since 1979. She received the outstanding alumna award at the College of Edu cation’s 20th anniversary in 1989. /f ULCERATIVE COLITIS /T Do you have physician diagnosed ulcerative colitis?
