Benjamin Contreras+FollowMath: Girls Play by the Rules, Boys Bend ThemEver noticed how girls and boys tackle math problems differently? Turns out, girls stick to the classic step-by-step methods, while boys love shortcuts and mental math hacks. Both get the right answers on simple stuff, but here’s the twist: those shortcut-loving boys do better on tough, creative math problems later on. Maybe that’s why more men end up in math-heavy jobs. Are we teaching kids to play it too safe? #Education #MathMystery #STEM00Share
Benjamin Contreras+FollowScholarship Showdown: Who Gets In?Drama alert: The Hispanic Scholarship Fund is being sued for only giving out scholarships to Hispanic students. An anti-DEI group claims this is discrimination and wants the courts to stop the fund from picking winners until things get sorted. The fund’s given out over $750 million so far, but now the whole process is under fire. Is this a fight for fairness or just more culture war chaos? #Education #Scholarships #DEI00Share
