…so women are encountering roadblocks to an education they could get due to social tendencies surrounding gender in education and parenting.
Maybe…. Though it begs the very obvious question, if people who are overestimated and go on to outperform….doesnt there exist the possibility that they were not overestimated in the first place. ?
yes, sure, in a poetic sense, but no in the literal scientific data sense; the article says parents were asked to guess against literal test scores that the kids took
more research would be needed to examine long term meanings of overestimation, and i’d be careful not to draw conclusions before then
I would not be prepared to base anything on parents guessing scores with all attendant externalities - and yet that’s what this report is keen to do .
