Tejek, more of the same: "At the January conference, Summers argued that intrinsic differences in ability are a key reason why fewer women are in the applicant pool for jobs at the highest levels of science." Clueless Two weeks ago, I took an exam that is required by the state if you want to teach. You have to take it in the area that you plant to teach. Its called an endorsement Mine is social studies. There were two endorsements in the same room........social studies and math. Ninety percent of the people taking the math endorsement were women. Anecdotal evidence......of course......but still, I would never expect a percentage that high. And I hardly think it was coincidence. Of course, everyone knows women can't do math. ted
