Notably, Chang’s report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and marry and have children further down the line.
“Considering that males mature slower than females, having females enroll one year earlier will contribute toward men and women in their prime age [for marriage] feeling more attraction toward each other,” Chang writes.
The report does not include evidence of any correlation between female students’ early enrollment and the success rate of their romantic relationships with men. The author also does not detail specific mechanisms by which his proposed policy would increase romantic attraction or birthrates.
And here I thought school was a place for placing academic achievement in high regard on everyone’s list of priorities. Apparently, they want to insure that females will be more susceptible to peer pressure from their male counterparts at a time when the frontal lobes of their brains aren’t fully developed. Yes, let’s set them up for failure, as we hope for unplanned teen pregnancy, is that their mission? That doesn’t make sense to me.
