When I was eleven, in gym class we had to complete several “tests” to make up most of our grade for the quarter. One of them was a push-up test, and the teachers announced the requirements to get an A, B, and so forth. The girls had to do 15, and the boys had to do 30. This seemed so unfair, because even though many of the girls did just as many push-ups as the boys, the teachers only congradulated the boys who did the most.
