Recently I read an article about who are teachers pets, boys or girls. It tells many things to turn out that boys are
39、 teachers pets in the classroom. Boys get two-thirds of the teachers attention even when in a minority.B: yes, I agree with it. When I was young, in my classroom boys would receive praise for their sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls and they are allowed to tease the girls. Gradually,
40、 boys are accustomed to being teachers pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, boys will protest and even disrupt lessons.C: besides, teachers call on males for more than on female students to answer the question. Thus boys would become active classroom participants and they will devel
41、op more positive attitudes. It has a tremendous impact on the learning process.D: yes, there is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. Sometimes teachers unknowingly prevented girls from participating as actively as boys. It is unfair to girls.E: yes, as teachers treat boys and gi
42、rls differently, thus the gender bias appeared in the classroom. To balanced development, I think the phenomenon must be avoided.

43、because the different treating ways causing different achievement in the future .so first, I think teachers different treating way should be changed, and they should give the same opportunity to girls as boys.B: But thats not enough .You know, only with enough ability will they be concerned. As girl
44、s, if we do better than boys, then the gender bias will disappear. And girls should be confident that they have the potential to do a good thing. And whatever you do, girls should try your best .I believe girls can do better than boys.C: I cant agree with you more. Then teachers will change their fo
45、rmer ways and become more concerned about the girls. Besides that girls should take part in activities as actively as boys.D: As for me, I think gender bias may results from gender differences in a way. So I suppose if boys and girls could communicate more with each other. Just learn from others str
46、ong points to offset ones weakness, and finally make the best of the both worlds. Therefore, girls are more brave and active while boys can make a progress in verbal and reading. And it may do good to eliminate the gender bias.E: thats so great .I even can see the harmony in the future. Yeah, throug
47、h our girls effort, the gender bias will disappear one day. Lets do it from now on.nit 4 Which should be emphasized in education, knowledge or creativity?A:I am just reading an interesting educational book.
