Gender gap in STEM fields could be due to girls’ reading skills, not math ability |
|
Why don’t more girls grow up to become scientists and engineers? It’s not that they’re bad at math, a new study argues. It’s that they’re even better at reading.
This comparative advantage in reading is the primary reason why women are outnumbered by men in technical fields, according to a report published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Cupertino Union fined for violating California ethics laws |
|
Mass mailers that went out to local residents in 2016 and 2017 will have the Cupertino Union School District shelling out $2,500 for violating the state’s Political Reform Act.
On July 18, the Fair Political Practices Commission, which enforces California’s political ethics laws, approved the fine for CUSD’s role in designing, printing and distributing, “over 200 copies of mass mailing at the public expense.” Two of the newsletters featured members of CUSD’s Board of Education and included a “message” from then-board president Josephine Lucey, according to a complaint written by the FPPC’s Chief of Enforcement Galena West.

Judge gives Oxford Preparatory Academy’s Chino campus another day in court |
|
Two years after Oxford Preparatory Academy’s Chino campus shut down, a judge has offered the charter school another chance to argue its case in court. In 2016, Chino Valley Unified, the district where Oxford Preparatory was chartered, denied the school’s request for a five-year renewal of its charter and, after appealing all the way to the state school board, the school ultimately shut down. Earlier this month, appellate judge David S. Cohn ruled that the trial court back in 2017 improperly applied an “extremely deferential standard” in favor of Chino Valley Unified.
