PB, my generalisation isn't a thing to be believed or not. It is an incontrovertible fact that female humans reach puberty and adulthood about 3 years before males. My point is that good students are being neglected during their crucial developmental years which are permanently lost if not fulfilled. <Oh yea.. one last thing. In Britain the females are WAY AHEAD of the males in all subjects. That's before they go to university. Something to be concerned about. You know, prejudices and stuff like that -g- > That's evidence that what I'm saying is correct. It's pretty simple really. It's surprising that so few people have noticed that females develop younger and males catch up when their brains grow and males have the advantage of pre-puberty knowledge that females don't get.

Then I took this book into the library on a daily basis, skipping lectures as the were a waste of time for me, As an undergrad (perpetual with no resolution...) I always aced my math but got little from lectures... halfway through the course I'd put on a push where I'd get every book on the course material I could find and do every problem I could (see the prof if I had trouble)... Just before final exam time when everyone else was cramming I'd hang out in the library or wherever folks were studying and I'd see if anyone could stump me .. worked really well for computer programming courses also... Physics on the other hand ... well sadly that's another story.. I sounded like like I knew what I was talking about but the exam results never corroborated that ... Maths teachers just cannot relate the concepts I found that too often but later came to believe that was the mark of a poor teacher... not being able to reduce things to first principles to reach a student..
