Critical literacy lesson:

Poor Journalism:

"Rise of women teachers 'turning boys off education' as report reveals girls born this year will be 75% more likely to go to university"

This is a great example of really bad reporting. The article's headline reports as fact a claim that is revealed to be completely without merit in the body of the article. An equally accurate headline would have been "Lack of Three Stooges courses turning boys off university".
Challenge students to research the issue and generate accurate claims about gender imbalances in education.
